Hey, I've just back from Farm ChokChai in Saraburi. First I visited a grape farm near ChokChai Farm. At Chok Chai Farm. I tried some steak over there. It was very delicious (but not as I used to have in Toronto! ) The tour around the farm takes 2.5hrs and cost 200Bt for Thai (300 Bt for Farang) The tour start from a video presentation tell us the history of the farm. Then show us 4 cars which was first used in the farm. Then farmer show us how to draw milk from cow. There are 2 ways, by hand which will take 30 mins. and by machine whick takes only 6-7 mins. We also see how they do with the milk. Such as, turn to Pasteurized milk, Ice Cream, Yogurt. Then we took a trailer around the farm and cowboy town. You can ride horse over there.

Then we were take to a small zoo. Lots of animal and not in cage. They're all over you. I bought some vegetables and milk to feed them. It's another exciting activity over there.

Ice cream at the farm is very delicious. Maybe cos' they're made from very fresh milk. If you have chance, visit this farm. It take only a one day trip.

I'm on my way back from Had Yai to Bangkok. It was a bit different at the airport, it was very crowded cos' there are more low cost airline flying arount Thailand. That means we have more choices to choose but there are a lot of conditions, also you can't change the departure date. And the price is not fix, the sooner we book, the cheaper we get.

For me and my family, THAI is our first hoice and always be. The cost is not much different to those low cost airlines but I'm sure with the safety of this airline.

All last week, I was in Yala, a province in the South of Thailand. Arrnage some business over there which means meeting all day from 9am till7pm. Well, it's over now. I've already planned to watch a lot of movies in BKK.

The situation in Yala is not bad as you guys think. The press are just too much. They report just the bad side and never do in the good side. People's life over there is still usual and they live happily. I wonder when some of them will stop those violence and live together happily.

Anyway, Next week I will have a trip to KanChaNaBuri (I've been there many times but there are a lot places to discover.) and Khao Yai. Of course, I'll upload those photos next week.Take Care....JOCK

Not much happened in my life lately. I haven't been to anywhere outside Bangkok. Just concentrate on my studing before the final exam which is approaching.

I've just back from the official launch of Flyff online game : Fly For Fun :. It's a new online game which has a lof diffrence from other online games. It's quite easy to play, try it here >>>

I'll have a school break in October. But I haven't decided where to go yet. Maybe to the south. I'll tell you later when I've already decided.

I've used Bangkok's new subway. We have Skytrain in Bangkok but this is the first subway. During frist launch, the train cost only 10 Bt to everywhere. But now when the price is normal. The train is quite empty. Today I took the subway from my university (Sam Yan Sta.) to Central LadPrao. It costs me 37 Bt (which I think is not expensive). When I went down waiting for the train, there was only me on the platform. Also there was just a few people in the train. Maybe people in Bangkok are not get used to it yet!

As I haven't update this web for nearly 3 months. I think I should brief what had happened.

I have passed the University exam. Right now I'm studing at Chulalongkorn University in Faculty of Engineering. So now the worry of University is over. I've joined a lot of activities at the University ans made a lots of new friends. Yesterday the midterm test have just finished. I've now studied there for about 2 months.

I've traveled to Erawan Waterfall in KanChaNaBuri . It was a very beautiful fall. Very nice place to go during a very hot summer . Next trip is Bangsaen Aquarium. The aquarium was great but the traffic was terrible.It was Labour Day so many people leave Bangkok to travel. It took me about 5 hrs. from Bangkok to Bangsaen. Another trip is to SaMudPraKan Province. It's where a crocodile farm located. They have a famous crocodile show and also have many unordinary crocodiles. My last trip was to Rayong, a province near Pattaya. Ko Samed is in this province. Beaches on Ko Samed was very clean and the sand was white. No sea shells in the sea. So it's quite good for swimming. Getting there is easy by taking a bus from Eastern Bus station at Ekkamai (BKK) to BANPAE in Rayong. There will be a lot of boats waiting. It cost only 50 Bt for the boat. People over there was very nice.

After that last trip, I have to continue study hard until yesterday, the last day of midterm test. Umm, that should be enough ... See ya

Songkran is coming again, it's already one year since my first make this website. Or I would say it's the first anniversary of this web. There are more visitor to my site, nearly 2,000 photos in the server and I have to consider another server for the larger space. (And what I found was Delight Host which give me a lot more space and even cheaper.)

My unexpected trip to Trang, Ko Ngai and Pattalung was really great and suit this hot summer. First I decided to finish my work at Yala, when I finished, I took a travel book and found Trang on the cover. Couple minutes later, I decided to go there.

First I make a stop at Had Yai for some shopping then head to Trang, stayed there for a nigh to check out the town and go to Ko Ngai in the next morning. Ko Ngai is not very far from Trang mainland (Less than 1 hr. by speedboat) and the beach over there is fantastic. I went to Emerald cave near Ko Ngai and did some snorkeling. In the evening I had dinner by the sea which gave me a beautiful scene of two little island highlighted by the sun. The scene of the Resort at night was in Bali style.

Next morning, I came back to Trang and made a trip to Ko Kob Cave which I consider the amazing of this trip. The boat is suitable for 6 person and took me into the beautiful cave., Some part of it is very small and I had to lie down on the boat to got into that. It was a lot of fun in there. At night I went back to Bangkok and continue my life here. Well, It was another great time at the south !

I've just back from Pattaya and another unexpected trip to Ayuttaya. I met my friend at Ekkamai Bus Station(East bound). Bus to Ko Samet is also available here. The aims of this trip is to spend time together with my friends. We stay at Pattaya Park Hotel.

The second day we went to Ko Larn. Beach over there is much better than Pattaya. We had a lot of fun in the sea. At the evening we head back to Pattaya and spend time at walking street . The next day we went to Royal Garden which is a shopping complex. At night I went to Alangkarn, a extravaganza show about Thai history and culture. (A bit different from Phuket Fantasy show)

Early next morning, I meet my family and went to Ayuttaya for some business. Next week I will have to go to Yala to finish some of my work there.

Oh, it's been about 2 months since I last updated my web. I've prepared for my entrance exan and it's now over. Now I'll only wait for the score and choose the faculty I want. I'm thinking about Faculty of engineering. I hope my score is high enough for that faculty.

By the way, I'll have my free time for 3 months (Before the University start). My plan is to travel around and study something I want such as Chinese, Japanese, or singing class.

I'm going to Pattaya this monday with all my Deutsch classmate. And will be there for 4 or 5 days. Of course, there'll soon have photos of pattaya on this web.

C ya!... JOCK

I've just back in Bangkok after finished my business at Yala. At Hat Yai airport there was very crowded ( never been like this) and the flight was 30 min. late cos' they have to check all the passengers in the flight for security reason.

At the end of this month, I'll have to join a military camp at KanChaNaBuRi for 5 days. It's the last thing I have to do to finish my Lor Dor ( which means Thai boys who joined Lor Dor don't have to be soldier for a year )

I have to start study hard again to prepare for the entrance exam at the start of March and the process will make me busy until May and the university will start in June. Wish me good luck in that exam!

I'm now 33,000 ft. above sea level. Guess where I am? Yeah in the plane heading to Had Yai. There was a lot of trouble this morning. First, I have to wake up really early (4 am.) to be at the airport in time, but it took me only 20 minutes to get to the airport, of course it was too early.I have to waited for a while. When I got in the plane, someone was sitting on the seat which supposed to be mine and his ticket is the same as mine. So I told the flight assistant and she confirm that the seat is mine so she inform a guy who is sitting in the wrong seat but he refused to leave that seat and they argued for a while. Then the stuart took me to another seat and told me I can take 2 seats by the window. Cool!

I'll be in Yala till 8 and will be back to Bangkok to catch up with my study. There'll be another entrance exam at the start of March. Hope to have some free time to update ... JOCK
