However, the most interesting event in September 2006, was the trip to Bangkok, Thailand. Besides shop, shop, shop and shop, we've visited few places that I've never visited before during my last trip there. Here are some of the snapshots of the trip:
Thong Lo is an area in the Sukhumvit district. That's where we stayed during our 6-day trip in Bangkok. Nice and peaceful area which not many entertainment but most tourists' choice of getting an accomodation in. How I wish I've actually taken a shot of the hotel that we've stayed. Lol.
Here I am, playing with handguns as being one of my motive in travelling to Bangkok. Christine and I had a few trainings in the shooting range in the Crocodile Farm in Semutprakan, outskirt of Bangkok. My shots have got much better compared to my last trip there. At least, more than 50% of the shots fired hit the target.
No doubt, for most of you that haven't tried playing with guns (besides virtual gun firing in the famous game, Counterstrike), Bangkok might be one of the places that gives you an experience in handling weapons like that. Take your time aiming with the real thing!
Not forgetting some shots of the crocodiles that roam the Crocodile Farm. Freaky...
Christine and I in Chatuchak Market, the famous weekend market in Bangkok. We shopped a lot and actually, that's what we've been doing for the past 6 days in the country.
Besides shopping, we've actually visited a few places of interest such as the Royal Palace. It's interesting to see how most of the buildings in the palace are covered in shiny pure gold, including the statues and walls too. Nice place indeed!
See! Pork burgers! Forgive me as there are no pork burgers in Malaysia and the burgers aren't as big as the Thai's McD burgers. Thumbs up for the McDonald's in Thailand!
After all, it's a memorable trip in Bangkok. Travelling with Christine has indeed produced some enchanted moments and we've defintely enjoyed ourselves very much there. We're fortunate to return just in time before the Thai military staged a coup in the capital of the country. I can't imagine myself trapped and stuck in the country as a result of the closure of the airport then. We consider ourselves really, really lucky to escape that.As for now, we're back in business again. Christine's back to work and I'm back to rush to complete my assignments to meet deadlines. At the same time, we're seeking for new travel destinations and I plan to go somewhere out of the South East Asia. Hong Kong or Melbourne might be a good pick. But before that, have to seek for extra sources of income to make our planned trips possible. Hope they'll turn out well. :)
God bless.
