Term II Holiday

Yes, Term II ended on Apr 4th. We have our first "holidlet" on Apr 5th. Pattaya - a place that many warned us against.... Well, you have got to be there to know it. However, we had an insurance - hotel with a pool... in case we really could not go out! Turned out to be a fun holiday - Open Zoo, Underwater World, a little bit of sandy beach and the swimming pool! Then, we went for a longer holidlet. Supposedly 3D2N but ended as a 4D3N. TW was here at 3 (Dec 04) when Mommy had LW in her womb. You can check out the pic in this blog too. Now LW here at 3 (Apr 07) when Mommy had ?W in her womb! We came straight to the same WhiteSandBeach Resort and whoala - there are still 2 beach-front villas available! Day 3 was an adventure - drove to Eastern side of island.... all the way to Long Beach. Then decided to stay the night at the other side of this Eastern side.... anyway, check out the video below....

Dec 2007 - MaeHongSon, Thailand. The trip took 10days to complete. 2,100km. Avg temperature in the morning - 12 degree celcius. Super cold shower. Beautiful morning - sun rise, sea of mist/cloud, flowers in full bloom.

A very short "report". Bye.

ChokChai Farm

Finally, we visited ChokChai Farm (Apr 07). LuWei and I enjoyed it thoroughly. We saw cows, camels, deers and many other animals there. There are also shows performed here with the animals. The lady invited Pa to try their work - milk the cow! We also saw the Dragon Fruit tree!

2007 May 1st - Hua Hin & Samut Prakan

May 1st - Labour Day weekend. We went to Elephant Park in Samut Prakan and then to HuaHin.

There are..... elephants. LuWei was holding tightly to Pa. There are also many shows that we can watch. This one below is Elephant show - supposedly The Main Attraction here. Elephants are taught to do various tricks... like taking football penalty!

Then we went to check out an apartment our new friend has offered us - ChaAm Condotel.

Pa found it quite peaceful. So we decided to stay here. What do we do? Sleep, Wake Up, TV, Eat, Beach, Swim, Sleep.

and Play

BKK to Prachuap

Day 3

Destination - Isthmus of Kra. Rustic. Beautiful sunset from the corner stilt-unit - right above the sea water where fishermen would come crabbing very early in the morning (4-5am).

Day 4

Local reservoir with lots of fish. Again not many people at all.

Ranong town - with hotspring for public to use (feet soaking) for free.

Day 5

Lots of signages (resort) pointing to a right turn and so I decided to heed their advices.  Next thing we were on a ferry and checked into a beautiful island resort. That evening, a newfound friend took us our for dinner and it turned out the restaurant owner is Ahia Queng!! How wonderful!
