April, May and June now (almost) gone.It’s been really hectic, but boy, have we done a lot.Christina arrived on the 24th of April, having completed her University years, culminating in “The Grad Show” that they had to do to show off the work of the 2005 Design Class. The show consumed here for approx 2…

Finally, the time has come that our baby will join us in Bangkok.It’s impossible to say how excited we both are.The only problem is that it’s still 48 hours away.However, ignoring time zones, she leaves tomorrow morning (just minutes away now from where we are) and the she’s here just the next day (albeit the…

The period of 13 – 15 April is the Thai Budhist New Year in 2005; so Happy New Year everyone. It is wonderful to get 3 days off in mid week, as these are public holidays here in Thailand. The Songkran festival is also a water festival, and the people here go crazy with water,…

This is Easter weekend, and the last couple of days I have taken my morning swim in the rain. It was great, not least because we have seen no rain since last October and the majority of the country is in a severe drought. The swims were terrific though as the rain was fair sized…

So we had a plan to go away every month, and it didn’t come off.Because I went to Paris worth my customer for a week we never made it to the beach here in TH.Boy did I miss that.Trish was not so bad about it, as we had had a friend here for all the…

Rapidly approaching mid February already; where does the time go? Trish came back to BKK in mid January, and we seem to have had a busy time of it since. We had another of our w/e breaks at the end of January. We went to an Island in the Gulf of Thailand, Koh (Island) Samet.…

2005 is now up and running, and what a year 2004 turned out to be in the end! Happy New Year to everyone. I am presently at the airport in London on my way back to Bangkok (3rd January), and Trish will be joining me there again on the 15th. This time we will not…

It is four weeks since our last excursion out of Bangkok, so we decided to take a long w/e and go off exploring again this last few days; this time down the west coast of the gulf of Thailand to the Rayong Resort, just opposite the island of Samet (Koh Samet). We left on Friday…

City of Angels – the real name of Bangkok. City of smiles – its nick-name. City of traffic. City (country) of noise. This is the first thought that will come to mind of Bangkok once I leave. It is unbelievable how much traffic there is here. It can take 1 hour to go 1 mile…

Just had a weekend away at the beach here; what a wonderful break. We went to a seaside resort about 200 Km away called Hua Hin. It’s where the King of Thailand lives since his health is not the best (rather than live in Bangkok), so that’s quite the recommendation eh? We stayed at a…
