Just got back from BBK :)

I'd been away from Singapore for a few days in the last weekend. Took a runaway trip to Bangkok to visit Nung Nung, who is celebrating her birthday and was taken to a some great rides to various locations of Bangkok within and to another province.

The pictures below suggested we had good time dinning with all Thai friends with all singing away in a floating hut. Yes, a Floating hut made of wood and barrels bundled together. Checkout the foods. You will be amazed how tasty they get.

We did had a good feast.

On the second day, we went to Chokchai farm from another province which showcases how they raise cattles and produce dairy for ice cream and dairy milk. It's quite an eye opening experience to see cattles wandering in the open farm and jean cladded cowboy riding on horse back marsharing the herds, the idea of going to Chokchai farm is to taste them fresh beef steak. The Restaurant is called Chokchai Steak. That's can be found in various spot in Bangkok. But Chokchai farm offers the distinction to visit the farm and taste their best served steak. Aroi mak mak!!!
















Managed to get a chance to visit Jim Thompson's house museum which housed some of the best silk in town. Located after a few couple of strolls away from Siam BTS station. Jim Thompson was an american living in Thailand while he piled his trade in 1930s. He had his house constructed in a Thai's traditional architectural to display his admiration of Thai culture, amazingly built and blended with western culture by using Thai architecture and western interior design. However with Jim Thompson disappearance in 1967, it was converted into a silk museum. And in accordance if Jim Thompson was to be still alive, he will be 100 years old now. His body was never found. Entrance only 100 bahts. But Nung preferred to wait outside for me..:(

That's all for the time-being.
