the day didn't start off so nice.. i was caught in a jam..
apparently a car was burnt near taman cannaught
fireman putting out the fire
later in the afternoon went to Trinity Diploma Graduation Ceremony to work, first time controlling audio and video at the same time, almost messed up.. didn't bother to take any more pics since its not related to the title.
shortly after ceremony, took a flight to bangkok with company..
this is the first time I visit Thailand, Bangkok, was quite excited.
The king of the Thailand is a jazz saxophonist, but I saw him playing the trumpet. His love for jazz music is so influencing that you don't get to listen Eminem or Gaga around the city, but mostly Jazz, classical, broadways, oldies, sentimetals, light pop music and so on..
The hotel our company stays in.. Sivatel.. We get to stay in this place because the wife of the owner runs the Trinity music examination in Thailand. The top floor of its office next to the hotel was used as a music school and examination center.

some shots of the city
I can't see its end.
Tallest building in Bangkok, observer desk was built on top to see the entire bangkok but I didn't managed to visit it due to lack of time.
night shots
We were brought to some butcher shop for supper in the first night after arrival.
this food are really nice..
but they are not cheap as well, 40 baht just for plain water.
(We had a company meeting the next day, but it was boring, I slept and didn't took any pics)
During the free day, we went to visit Chatuchak market. Sensors and security check points are installed in each MRT, securities does check your bag, but nobody bothers about the sensors, people just ignore it.
bright color taxis
the station
the entrance of the market
The chatuchak market was rather famous and among the tourism hot spot.
So big that they say it sums up a size of 3 ~ 4 football field.
Nothing really fancy me, it is definitely famous just because for its size. I did bought, but 2 T-shirts.
While I was walking around the market I saw a lot of young females chasing from each entrance to another (there are a few entrances to the market)
I soon learned that they are all astronomers, trying to get a place to look for certain star.
They are stars from Korea, girls are cheering excitingly and loud upon sighting these stars.
(I don't know why would the uncle in the previous picture interested in this kind of star)
Some astronomer managed to get a close sight of the stars
Taking photos next to the star
That particular spot in the market was certainly flooded with crowds.
What rather interest me is this boy playing a Khene, basking.
He only play a sustaining note, and a melody consists of only 5th ~ 3rd below the sustaining note.
A rather medium sized set drum was left in the corner unattended.
A familiar looking sailor has started his new life in Bangkok, probably just to make some allowance before he continue his trip to Melacca.
The Chatuchak park, right outside the market.
They like to place a mat under a tree and just sit there relaxing.
Despite of those heavy traffic and dust caused by the road next to it.
A clock tower is erected in the mid of the park
Some plaza near to the park, I realized 1Utama parking complex wasn't too bad afterall.
Paid a visit to Jim Thompson's once house now museum
He's a silk trader. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jim_Thompson_(designer)
A guy who built his house with only wood without a single nail
A very successful silk trader however disappeared mysteriously without a single trace when he visits Malaysia.
Similar thing happened to Scottish and Mongolian tourist while they are in Malaysia
A restaurant
Took a short tour around the house, a lot of antique collections, unfortunately unable to take any photos of its interior due to prohibition.
this turtle is rather a daring ones, swim approaching me with no fear though I poke it on its shell for fun
Riding a tuk tuk back to hotel
I prefer this tuk tuk
I don't understand why a glass of water was placed underneath.
At night, we visited the Siam Nirmait, a thai cultural show.
The elephant, as a tourist attraction, later make its appearance in the stage drama show.
The buffet dining area, simple designed but foods are fantastic, some guy would walk around to perform magic trick as entertainment.
the plaza
Ride the elephant for only 100 baht, hehe
The MUST SEE SHOW of Thailand
I wonder what it is..
Oh I see
It turned to be really a fantastic show. The stage was even listed into Guiness world record. The stage design is way so high tech, the show is so damn nice and even animals like goat chicken and elephants are shown. The guys are so muscular while the girls are so sexy. The sound effect is superb. The scenes are 10++ layered for different plays and with many real nature atmosphere effect. A truly must see show, I wished that I could go and see again.
Afterwards went to Chinatown
nothing really fascinating.. probably bcuz im too tired from watching the must see show..
Lunch
some nice food I get to enjoyed back in hotel for the few days before I go back Malaysia
Then the dinner, we were celebrating David's 80th birthday
The food are really wonderful
But home cooks are definitely the best.
