i took the airport taxi to our hotel and with all smiles (well.. we filipinos love to smile, hehe).. asked where my room is.. BUT.. oh my, they could not find my name on their reservation list.. I was not booked :( Oh no, I have no time for this.. i'm already running late.. i had no lunch yet.. …

Last night I went and got tattoo #3.  For me the compass rose symbolizes "traveler."  I've thought about this one a long time and have been wanting to get it along the way somewhere  - so why not Bangkok.  And yes, it hurt! 

After crossing the border to Thailand, I was unfortunate to find that I had missed the overnight bus by ten minutes, meaning I would have to catch the one in the morning and spend the whole day on a bus. 14 unpleasurable hours later - but nothing compared to the buses in Laos - I was back in Bangko…

My flying saucer landed safely in Thailand! I made my way to Khao San Road area right away to meet my friend, Siska who had been waiting for my arrival. We got our butts in gear since that evening we were going to meet the coolest TB Bangkok girls that must have been my lost sisters in my past life…

My three year assignment here in Bangkok will be coming to an end this August, and I am starting to think about all of the things that need to get done before I pack out!  One of the things I realized is that I need to write more about this city that I have lived in for so long!  Kat aske…

I woke up at 5.54am this morning; 1 minute before my first alarm usually goes off! Hmmm. Body clocks are weird like that. I went back to sleep again though until 8am when I suddenly had a dozy flash of inspiration that I could get the bus from wherever we were headed back to Bangkok rather than ret…

    December 27, 2006 - January 3, 2007 Last year (2006) I planned to go to Ireland for 2 weeks but too bad, i didn't get visa. Statement of account was ready. Money was ready. I was ready but was not allow to go.I am just a tourist, do not want to live there but they misundersto…

After a reasonable sleep on the flight from Melbourne I stumbled out somewhat bedraggled at Bangkok airport, made it through customs and out the other side into the big, noisy, steamy, smelly metropolis that is Bangkok. Don't ask me what I spent the day doing because I think the heat has erased the…

Number 9 is Thai's lucky number since we pronounce as "Gao" which can be a double connotation of "Gao Na" which means "progress" or "moving forward" or "step forward". Whenever Thais pick up any date or number like wedding date, entering new house, ceremony, product launching, etc, no wonder that t…

This trip was all out madness even before we left home. Haha. Check the photo's out. I had so much more but my camera go wet when I went scuba diving :| .

Bangkok, Thailand, 21-24 May 2009 -- My best buddies Alex and Bruce's joint birthday weekend celebration in Asia's party capital -- with an entourage of merrymakers from Austria, Canada, Germany, India, Norway, Philippines, Scotland, Singapore and home team Thailand -- mostly old friends planning t…

This was another memorable and great trip indeed. I had lots of fun and honestly didn't want to go back to Sydney yet when I had to, on February 1st.  Met lots of great and fun people, both Thai and Europeans.  I was first in Phuket and once in my hostel in Patong I went straight to the…

The second day in Thailand I was able to experience a traditional Ban Mai celebration on the opening of my companys office in Bangkok. The Ban Mai is a 'new house blessing'. True to Thai tradition, we selected a luckly floor, 28th (or our local manager did hahaha). Jimmy and I arrived to …

So I arrived at the Seoul International Airport first and walked around the terminal from one end to the other. Of course, being a Korean, one must have the luxury brand names at ones fingertips. Frankly, I like the shopping better in NYC (then again, I am biased). I was more fascinated with the…
