Sawadee-kaa from Bangkok


Sawadee-kaa.. means Hello in thai language. No matter where you go, you could just hear this from the local.. Thai people are polite and humble and is almost similar to Aussie..

One of the scary thing that must mention here is how Thai ppl drive. They just change the lane when they want to,, although the car is just close enough at the next lane. They are not patient at all and rude. Honestly this is dangerous (maybe just i don't get used to it for this kind of driving style). This makes me appreaciates while driving in Melbourne.

My friend Benny bring us around as our tour guide as he could speak Thai.. so is much more easy to communicate with them.. and they won't cheat if they know you can speak Thai. Food are all delicious and I eat more here in Bangkok compare to while i was in Hong Kong.

Went to Health Land for body massage yesterday.. with the compressor package for $750 baht. It was soooo relaxing and heaps of funny things happened... My dear friend Sandy fall asleep during the massage..!! haha.. that's impossible!!! Before the massage session over, I was CRACKED totally on my back bone... I could hear the cracks very loudly... Fortunately not twisted or strained... it is just a bit sore... Bangkok --> think of Massage! It is highly recommended.
