Honestly my last US trip was fun but was really tiring. So I find that I really needed a break coz working non-stop ever since back from US and so much work everyday. Coming Friday will be nice to go for another holiday, in Bangkok this time. Yes its company sponsored trip for Singapore Perm employees.
In 2006, I join the Hong Kong trip, last year Taiwan and now I chose Bangkok. Well, the budget getting less each year. Before there are 2 trips a year. Now its just one and the amount getting less both due to increase head counts and next reason is US dollar rate getting lower.
I used to work alot in Thailand fly through Bangkok but 3 hours to another province. If not wrong is Prachinburi area. Its already 10 years have passed. I not been to Bangkok since 1998. Here this news when I was there in 1997, the new IBM factory is under building. The area has a lot of new manufacturing plants.

Exact 10 years. This is where I used to stay a golf resort.(FYI only golf driving range available). Anyway I am there to stay but never go anywhere. Frequent visits to Thai Traditional massage, restaurant and Karaoke to pass time.
Will be staying at following hotel this weekend:

3. Shop for wacoal products (hmm female only)
4. Shop for leather goods
