'Sawasdee'- Thai for "Good morning, afternoon or evening"

I haven't really visited the historical places here in Thailand. We were really busy at work and usually leave the office at 7pm at the earliest. However, managed to go to Suan Lum night market and to went back to the MBK mall to do some shopping. Traffic can be terrible going around. The only difference with traffic in Manila is that there is not much horn blowing here. Grabe ang tahimik sa daan. Thai's must be very patient people to withstand long hours stuck in a traffic jam.

On work, the testing is taking longer than usual. Today we should be able to come up with the audit summary and submit the report to the global team. However, with all the things going on in the local TH organization I don't think we can really expect participation from some of the people responsible also for another critical project. And I was hoping that the global office will understand this predicament. I mean we can't just push them around if they are attending another workshop.

I'm flying back to Manila tomorrow morning. I hope I can still have breakfast before leaving the hotel. Didn't have to adjust much on the food. You can always choose not to put on the chili. Anyway, hotel food is pretty much international. You can have Indian, American and Thai food altogether. I even had salted eggs and dilis this morning. Asia is really an interesting place to be in. The culture is so rich and the environment so colorful. I am actually impressed how our European colleague have adapted on Asian clothing. They find it very comfortable and cool.

I wish I could have went around and took more pictures. I'd like to ride a boat in the river. And also ride around a tuk-tuk (a very nice taxi tricycle) Maybe next time. Its a nice place to visit again and hopefully I can have more time for pleasure. =)
