Another Trip....

Half of the school holiday has gone, and it was time to head to Khlong Nueng. Only 3 daughters followed, while another has lectures to attend. Took a taxi to the airport and had trouble loading the bags inside the boot due to the NGV tank!! Or should we have known better? Cost us RM45 fr home to KLIA. We took MH788 that afternoon (tickets' fare courtesy of hubby's Enrich points...). Nabihah insisted on us to take picture here with the planes models. Then the announcement came, the flight will be 20 mins late.

Nabihah as usual sat at the window seat, and this is her work!! Taken over Thailand's land.

At Suvarnabhumi Airport, Thailand. Nay, we can't read the writings. Poot Thai mai-dai.... (= We can't speak Thai...)

Phew, it was quite a wait at the Immigration. Long queues at all the counters. Must be booming here in this Kingdom. Lined up with tourists from India, judging from their passports that is. Then we had a hard time finding our sole contact here (hehe....). Coming out of Gate C, searching for him... Anyway, managed to find hubby and off we went to the parking lot. Btw, this airport looks more like a shopping complex... With so many people patronising the shops, restaurants.....

Yes, finally, we were on Motorway 9, heading towards Khlong Nueng. Weather? Oh, it was hot...

Bye Bangkok (Holiday Revisited -- June 2010)

A signboard as we approached Suvarnabhumi Airport, Bangkok.

Nabihah posed with a hat bought at Ayutthaya.

Yeap, traveling can be tiring.

After a week in Thailand, it was time to say good bye (but with a heavy heart)....

It's Long Overdue.... (June 2010 Holiday Revisited)

This is the morning when we were about to visit Damnoen Saduak (about 80km from Bangkok), in the Province of Patchaburi, Aby smiled and waved her peace sign. And not forgetting her pink backpack. What were the things you had inside, Adik???

Notice the man in the background? Ah...dear hubby, leading the way to the waiting van on the main road.

And now some shots from the van, of Bangkok city as seen from an amateur's lense ....

.... along the road in Bangkok. And yes, we did past the Don Muang Airport...

..... the Menam Chao Phraya (????)


Outside of Bangkok, we noticed some ponds on the left side of the road. According to the guide, they were the salt ponds. Small roadside stalls selling salt were plenty with one or two bigger stores (see picture) in between.

In the distance, we saw a windmill-like structure. In any case, this should not be far away from the sea.

We also went past a town (Mae Klong, if I'm not mistaken) with a railway crossing smacked right in the middle of it. Waited for the train to pass before we proceeded.
