oooo.. tak per nanti lain kali bleh try

Last night, I was watching this documentary, Secrets of the Dead : Bridge on the River Kwai http://www.pbs.org/wnet/secrets/case_kwai/index.html on TV. I was fascinated by all facts I hadn't known before, like, how many POWs lost their lives building the railway, how fast the railway was built and the railway we always see on the postcards from Kanchanaburi is only a small part of the railway still in use, the rest of it is just lost in the jungle.

Follow the link above to learn more about this documentary and the railway.

Nak Tanya sapa yg penah g Bangkok

Eerie experience interrupts rite - Bangkok Post 24 Sep2006
by Amornrat Mahitthirook

Airports of Thailand (AoT) organised its largest religious rite at the
new Suvarnabhumi airport yesterday to ward off evil spirits, only to
experience an encounter with the unexplained. Rumours of occasional
"ghostly sightings" have gone around since the first foundation brick
was laid at the airport many years ago. The AoT is determined to
correct the growing perception that the airport is possibly harbouring
some ''uninvited inhabitants'' and to put its staff members' minds at
ease.

Yesterday's rite was presided over by 99 monks who chanted en masse to
improve the luck of the new airport, set to open commercially on
Thursday. However, halfway through the rite, a man appeared,
quivering, and began to speak in a commanding voice claiming to be
"Poo Ming"', a guardian spirit of the land partially developed into
the airport.

He ordered that a proper spirit house be built at the airport to allow
for its smooth operation. The man, who was unidentified, later passed
out and woke up to find the spirit had left him.

AoT president Chotisak Asapaviriya said the ceremony helped to boost
the morale of airport staff, some of whom were unnerved after learning
of frequent car crashes on the road running parallel to the airport's
eastern runway.

Some veiled figures have sometimes been spotted on the 6km-long road.
Somchai Sawasdeepon, the airport general manager, said he had heard
ghost stories from staff who came across a woman dressed in a
Thai-style costume at the airport construction site in the evening.

He said the airport land formerly belonged to some local communities
encompassing the centuries-old Wat Nhong Prue and its cemetery. It was
reported that the bodies had not been exhumed for proper religious
cremation.

Sqn Ldr Panupong Nualthongyai, head of Suvarnabhumi airport security,
was also a witness to some strange, unexplained episodes. ''Whatever
you make of it, it is the belief associated with the Thai way of life.
For the non-believer, it is best not to act disrespectfully [towards
the supernatural],'' he said.

Thailand opens huge new airport

The airport can handle 45m passengers a year

Thousands of passengers have passed through Thailand 's new international airport on its opening day.

Despite fears of initial problems, correspondents say the first day seems to be going smoothly, although there are some delays in baggage-handling.

Suvarnabhumi airport was first planned 45 years ago, and completed by recently ousted PM Thaksin Shinawatra.

Mr Thaksin was not present at the opening. He is in London , having been overthrown in last week's coup.

Thailand hopes its new airport will boost the country's vital tourist industry, and make Bangkok a regional transport centre to rival Hong Kong and Singapore .

The $4bn airport, the largest in South East Asia , is capable of handling 76 flights per hour and 45 million passengers per year.

The airport boasts the largest passenger terminal in the world

The opening of Suvarnabhumi has been fraught with delays and political interference since it was first planned.

It was an important project for Mr Thaksin's administration, but it was blighted by allegations of corruption during its construction, and claims that it was being opened before it was ready.

There were fears that last week's coup would lead to further delays in opening of the new building.

But the coup leaders were quick to back the airport, which was designed by the architect Helmut Jahn, and the change of government appears to have had little impact on the airport's first day.

Despite some delays in handing baggage, no major problems were reported.

By 0900 (0300 GMT) more than 100 flights had landed and taken off successfully.

"For the first day, it's pretty good. I thought there would be a lot more confusion," Australian tourist Stephen Gordon told the Associated Press.

Suvarnabhumi - which means Golden Land - is about 30km (20 miles) east of Bangkok .

A 28km (17 mile) rail link to connect the airport with central Bangkok is scheduled for completion in November 2007.

Thailand's airport authority says the new building boasts the world's largest single terminal building, at 563,000 sq m, as well as the tallest control tower.
