After Johan arrived Bangkok, we would like to go travel somewhere together. Our plan was to go to Chiangmai - Pai and/or Chiangrai. Since I really love traveling by train so I offered to go to Chaingmai by train.. but after checking weather news, weather seems to be bad during this time. Warning of storm, heavy rain, mud slide including 3 schools closed has changed our mind. Discussed with Johan and came across with Macau where we rushed through for one day in our 2004 trip. Because of culture mix, beautiful tall building view so we decided to go there again. [View Full Entry]

I think Chantaburi is nice relaxing town. First time arrived there, Eric picked me up with his motorbike and introduce me to his cat, gidget, the fat cat.. then introduce me to Henry his boss and then while Eric's working, I had nice coffee here with Kavin another friend, who's going to become daddy soon, things changing slowly he's happy to have a baby, kept telling [View Full Entry]
