Sarika Waterfall in Khao Yai National Park, Thailand

This weekend we visited Sarika Waterfall, near Nakhon Nayok, around 120 km Northwest of Bangkok.

The waterfall is about 530 maters walk from the entrance, passing some picnic area, climbing some steps up and down. Sarika Waterfall is an impressive one, I was told that it is about 70 meters tall, one of the tallest in Thailand. Also found out that it is a World Heritage Site as a sign claimed there, although it is not even featured on my not that old map. In fact we were planning to visit another waterfall in the area originally, changed our pick just after the road sign said Sarika Waterfall is near by, so decided to have a look. We didn't regret it!

Although it was Saturday, the place was rather quiet, and met only locals; obviously foreigners must have similar map to mine...

The walk to the waterfall wasn't really demanding, even with my son pulling me half way in hope an anticipated swim. Never to disappoint him on this, it was fun swimming under the fall, cool water, sunshine, and the green around. A worthy day trip.

Note that since it is in the Khao Yai National Park, a entry fee apply. The usual double pricing, 200 baht for foreigners, and 40 baht for Thai.

White tiger cobs in Bung Chawak Zoo

Recently our family had spent a Saturday visiting the Bung Chawak Zoo, near Suphanburi, about 160km north of Bangkok. The zoo built along the Bung Chawak Lake, with an artificial island also being part, called the Rabbit Paradise.

But the big attraction is: they have lots of the big cats! And lots i mean; lions, tigers, even white tigers, leopard. All ages of tigers and lions, and that includes cubs as well. The entrance fee is very cheap at 20 THB for adult, and 5 THB for child...so for 3 of us, it came at 1.5USD grand total.

And the jackpot: for 20 THB per person you can go into the cub's cage and take photos with them. Now, I try to think long and hard but cant recall any similar photo opp for a steal 60 US cents!! One of the little known specials you dont find many place in the world, being able to hold a baby lion, or a white tiger cub!

A little family vacation

Tomorrow we are going to have a little family vacation; going up to the North, flying to Chiang Mai, and plan to look around a bit in the surrounding area as well.
We were lucky enough to secure a real nice deal on AirAsia's flight, costing only about 50$/person the round trip, taxes included.
It pays of if you know in advance when and where you would like to go, chances are you can still find a seat cheap, unlike a few days prior departure.
A hope to take lots of photos, and might post some here, once we are back.
I have been in Chiang Mai already once, 7 years ago, but that time my son didn't born yet...so this is first time for him there.
Wish me good weather, suppose to be a bit cooler there, but maybe a pleasant change away from the humid rainy season in the central area where we are.

It has been a long time since....

Yes, indeed it has been a very long time since I wrote here.
I have been busy a bit with work, did another contract on the cruise ship I am working before....and I have to admit that found also a new hobby, what started to develop into something more.
I met forex or FX trading on my way to learn some way to make online income, and it did fast develop into some kind of passion. The simple reason that I fount it to work.
No, it isnt like a secret get fast rich formula, and indeed you have to put actual time into it to do ok, but this is the one and only way I found ( so far) that able to make me more than mere cents, like blogging, or PTC (paid-to click), and in the same time being lots of fun and excitement too.
Anyway, I started to do ok, and develop this hobby to some sort of online business, a progress still on its way.
Maybe in the future I will include a bit details about it, in the meantime I will try to restart posing a few of stories abd photos about travel-me-etc :)

Today I came across something new in our local Tesco, what caught my attention: it is called Pepsi Green. I don't know if it is something locally promoted, or worldwide, but my adventurous side got me, so I had one to try it out.



The result of the test:

As you can see above, it is not the battle that green, but the drink itself. The taste? Sort of Pepsi, sweet with no really distinct flavour to name. It is not bad, nor really good in my opinion, say, it is interesting.
If you also have it available, I would like to know your opinion about!

My latest achivement

I know, I know, I am behind posting lately.
It is due I have a new interest, but it is a bit early to talk about it, and part can be contributed to my friends who were nice to spend the New Year and some time after here with us. Oh, and yes, I am lazy a bit too. Sorry.


And now the achievement:
I love books and reading, and since a while my library, even the part I have here, outgrow the capacity of my bookshelf. It was time for a while to get another, and possible bigger one, and finally I found the one I liked.
But as all so often nowadays, it came in a neat long box, with a drawing and endless number of screws. A Lego toy for adults??
Had some other similar furniture experiences already, but neither the living room table, not the TV stand came this numerous pieces and screws, that with my not to pro screwdriver I could not manege in half an hour or less.
Well, this self I could manage only in 2 parts, with a break, as my hands really got tired. But seeing the result, I am happy.
Before you jump to conclusion about prior shelf, I have to say the books you see on the photo ARE NOT my whole library I was telling about! To organize things is a work in progress, and knowing my laziness lately, it might take up to a week to find the " right moment" to do it.
