From Bangkok to Kanchanaburi in March

 Not sure if I've mentioned here before, Bangkok is my hometown (I think it is), so I come here quite often :P

Last March, it was my friend's wedding, so I went to Bangkok again.

This time, didn't book a hotel, my sister booked a condo in Sukhumvit via AirBnB.com, it was so nice!






The living room. So nicely decorated and cosy!








Like a home, well it really is.







Open kitchen.














After settled down, quickly grabbed lunch at Yum Saap at Terminal 21.








We waited Mr. Cat off duty and he drove us all to Kanchanaburi.
Arrived and checked in at 1am.







With seating area in front of the room~







This is the guesthouse, Pongphen Guest House.







A guesthouse with swimming pool! How cool is that?







Grilled chicken, awesomeness!







Songtam~ *papaya salad*







Glass noodles salad!






Phad Thai! Wooohoo~






This is Mr. Cat.







Then we went to Erawan National Park, for the waterfall.







The waterfall has a few levels, I think this is the first one.







Vicky~ my sis in Bangkok :)







Looks nice right?







Us at the waterfall~ ♥






At the 3rd/4th level.
Once picture taken, it rained like cats and dogs. 







Visiting Kanchanaburi is to see the death railway.
This train station is still in use today.







Walked along the railway~







River Kwai~







Pleasant walk, peaceful view.







This pooch, didn't even open its eyes when my shutter beeped.







If I had time, I would spend more days here.







Historical place.















We all changed clothes due to the heavy rain.
I was in my pyjamas... ooopsssss







They found a squirrel.







Cute puppy~ :)







Night time.







This is the bridge over the River Kwai.







Sad story behind this bridge and the railway....
Many of them died due to disease, maltreatment and accidents building the railway..







Back to Chinatown and had the famous "kuey chap"~
Really awesome had to eat 2 bowls!!







That's all for today. Stay tuned!

Family Trip to Bali - Day 4

Very fast, the forth day in Bali came.

When u're in Bali, Ibu Oka Babi Guling is a must to have, but too bad, we went too early and unable to try it.





The alley to food!








Morning sunshine.







Squirrel~







Firewood. Lots of them!







So we went to another place for it.







This is how Nasi Babi Guling looks like.







This is the place.







Then we went to twin lake, oh so beautiful!







The picture doesn't tell it.







Family pic :D







Peaceful.







My lens is not wide enough to capture the twins behind us.







Greenery.







Bad man!








Revenge!







A gate.








Yipsy yipsy spider~







The famous Melanting Waterfall!







Yes, I almost fell. Hahahaha!







Another spider spotted.







Turn around, and it's beautiful :)







Love all the greenery in Bali.














The weather was not so good on that day... raining heavily.







Roar~ even tiger also showered under the rain.






Since it was raining, we decided to stop somewhere to grab a drink.
Panji brought us to an outdoor cafe with awesome view.
So relaxing here.






The path to the souvenir shop.






The coffee maker.






Very cooling sitting here.






Shit in my hand.
From the Luwak aka Civet.







Coffee beans.







The poor civet. 






It looks so sad :(






Another one with different colour, looks even pitier. 






After chilling a bit at the cafe, we headed to Tanah Lot. 







Oh so beautiful!







And oh! so sunny >.<







Really awesome view they have.







Splash!














Sun setting~







Last night, tried something more luxury.







Dress code. Luckily we still managed to enter. LOL







The decor is nice.







Sun setting :) More romantic~







Liquor for the man of the house.







Chao mien~







Green curry beef with bamboo shoot...
Oh I dislike the smell of bamboo shoot!







Dumpling.







Salad with fried pork rib, like this most!








Fish with special sauce.







The dessert, the best.






I think Mamasan is a quite good restaurant, but a bit overpriced. I think 1 meal here, enough for our expenses a few days of meals in Bali. Taste not bad, but not awesome or impressive either. However, it's worth a try.



That's all for today. Ciao~
