kolam renang terbesar di Bangkok

Just came back from BKK last 2 weeks. Saya stay sana 8 hari. From Ahad to Ahad. Memang best giler kat sana. Saya stay kat SUK11. The best backpacker hostel in town for me. Siap kita dibenarkan conteng dinding hostel tu utk tulis apa2 je. sempat cover Grand Palace (2x), Chatuchak Market (2x), River boat trip (2x), Lumphini stadium for muay thai matches( mahal giler), lari ke Pattaya for Day, l floating market, pergi urut(2x) dll.

p/s: beware of gem scam. dia bawak kita gi kedai jual batu. Nasib baik saya miskin, tak beli lgsg.

Its this (http://www.anu.edu.au/asianstudies/proudfoot/MCP/N/PAT_bib.html) one. Seems like it is still available from the publisher in the Netherlands at http://www.iias.nl/cgi-bin/kitlv ... art_id=9277343_3728 - and with 25 Euro its even affordable.

If you're in Bangkok, you can also try to look in the library of the Siam Society, there it should be available as well.

British Style Pubs in Bangkok




The Barbican ? Soi Thaniya, Silom - http://www.greatbritishpub.com




The Barbican is not like most other generic British bars in that it doesn? try to pretend that it? old and made from old English oak. The d?or is both warm and modern, especially the lower seating area, which is great for watching the comings and goings outside the Japanese bars opposite. It attracts a good mix of ex-pats and well to do locals, who enjoy the excellent menu and good selection of beers.


Old Speckled Hen, Guinness, Kilkenny, Strongbow.


Black Swan - Sukhumvit Road, Nr Asoke BTS - http://www.blackswanbkk.com



The Black Swan opened late 2004; I actually walked in as they were installing the TV and unfortunately for me, they hadn? got the kitchen going. The d?or has been done quite well, but there? still no attempt to break away from the lessons learnt in ?ritish Pub D?or ? 101?. So what you get is a lot of wood. There? live music and food, now that the kitchen is working pretty good food.

Kalau seafood ok ke ??  or steamed fish etc.

If you see the sign "Wor" during teh railway trip, that's the sing "Blowing Whistle" ... which have different kind of Wor Waen signs ...


1) The first one -> Wor Waen sign in the white circular sign of 2 Feet diameter. -> Common Locomotive whistle -> Look at the old delapidated Hatyai - Songkla lien as the example:


2) The Second type -> Long Whistle -> for the crossing without the blocking to prevent the cars to be runover by the train.


3) The third type-> for the crossing with blocking butno traffic light.

4) The forth one -> for the crossing wiht blocking and traffic light

5)thefifth one-> the rarest -> the whiletle for the corssing with block but with only Railway traffic light to be seen.... befor blowign whistle.

Tahun ni ulangtahun ke 60 raja thai.
Semua orang pakai baju kuning..dia orang ni very loyal to the king.

Ada satu kedai tomyam dekat Sukumvit Soi 22. Nama kedai tu Usman Restaurant. Kedai makan halal. recommended.

Lokasi: Very near to Imperial Queen's Park Hotel. dari hotel tu dah dekat sgt dah.  But hari jumaat dia tutup kedai.
