Time for us to depart to Thailand. We were divided into two flight groups. The morning group, took off at 9 AM, and the afternoon one (which was my group) flew at 11 AM.

Weekend in Pratunam

(checking out)

After checked out from Evergreen we checked in to First House Hotel, which we booked through the net.

There were First Hotel, and First House Hotel. I have never been to the location during my last visits to Bangkok. It’s called Pratunam. A little bit awkward. Taxi driver said he knew the place. But he took us to First Hotel. Then I asked him to ask the door guard of the hotel if he knew the location. Oh my God! He said that the hotel is smaller and not far from there.

Susan and I looked each other, smaller????

Well, the thought was right. We had to go in to an alley to get to this hotel. It was in market area. I wasn’t comfortable with the atmosphere. But what can we do? We were stuck there for 2 days, so let’s just enjoy it. The room wasn’t too bad, breakfast I can handle, by only ate toast bread and salad.

There were shopping malls, e.g. Platinum Plaza where it has thousands of store that sell fashion clothings, bags, and shoes. Too bad I have big size feet, otherwise, I would buy those pretty shoes!

Integra Training, Day 9

Aspirators lectures.
Only one thing I'll remember:
Vadim - Vadim - Vadim - Vadim - Vadim
Ummm, no wait............It's five! Hahaha
Class finished early.
Hansen reported about our client's problem that has occured.
Dinner with Jolean, Jin, and Young at the same Indian restaurant I went last night.

Jolean wanted to buy Bangkok bags.........Jin showed us the store at Patpong, then we went back to hotel.




Used our welcome drink coupon with Susan, Jolean, Victoria, KM Chung, and Xi Bin.

Must pack tonight because tomorrow we have to check out and move to First House Hotel.

Integra Training, Day 8

Had no class today, they will discussing new products: RADIONICS. We enjoyed sleeping and woke up late. At least we still had a chance to take our breakfast. Something happened in Jakarta, one of the hospital was having a trouble with their CE video. Asked Hansen to investigate, therefore I must talk with him online.

Then, worked out at the gym for one hour, took a shower, and with Susan we went to MBK. Well, the plan was to go to MBK for lunch then browse Siam area. But we went out quite late from hotel, we could not get to Siam because I had an appointment with Anil at 5 PM, so we went back to hotel.

I bought so many things, I didn't know how to pack them in my luggage, not to mention the overweight luggage!

Anil was waiting for us, so we took taxi to Gems Gallery. Dian asked me if I can check out gem stones in Thailand, especially ruby. Anil went there sometime ago and bought some gems. We were late, there was traffic jam, and the gallery will be closed at 6 PM when Anil confirmed.

When we got there, the sales supervisor Anil met greeted us and showed us the gems.
Eeeksss..........Ruby is expensive. Small piece can be range from B 40,000 to B 120,000.
Hmmm.......Dian must be informed about the price.

I was just looking around. I didn't want to buy anything more. I have spent my money. I even withdrew some from my ATM because of the nice stuffs.
I asked Ms. Wan, the sales supervisor, about my birth stone, it is diamond. Godness! I can't afford to buy that stone!
I didn't know what came over me, I bought a bracelet with garnets. It's so pretty. But actually it's better if I bought gold instead of gems.

The gallery sent us back to hotel without no charges at all. Anil and I decided to have a dinner and asked the driver to drop us at Himali Cha Cha, Indian restaurant near our hotel.

What a coincidence, we met Karen, Rich, Vadim, Murray, Caroline, Christina, and Phillipa there. They were finishing the dinner, and we joined them. Phillipa asked me if I wanted to go with them to Suan Lum. I wished I can......I have no money left in my wallet and I really need the rest. I still haven't done my proposal yet.

It was a nice food. Then we went back to the hotel, I have a class tomorrow.

Integra Training, Day 7 (March 14, 2006)

Today is Mayfield lecture, I must know how to assemble the system. Mayfield is our new product granted from Integra.

I took notes, played with the headrest, headclamp, assembled and disassembled them. Well, that Indian distributor broke one of radiolucent headclamp.......I think Mike was upset. He told us to be very carefull with it.



Saw a cute guy at the restaurant while we lunch and he sat with the group. I was wondering who he was. It turned out that he is Vadim Gurevich, product manager for ultrasonics aspirators. Gees............he's so young, Tony said he is probably less than 30 years old. What a record for Integra to have that young manager, beside Tom Hur of course....
We haven't used our free massage coupon. So at noon, we called the place to book a place. I heard from Ms. Chan that they had a bad experience with the staff there.

After the class, Susan, I, Jolean, and KM (her boss) went there. The three girls had a same room. We enjoyed our Thai massage.

Then we went to a seafood restaurant near hotel where I went with Tony several days ago.
Dinner was on KM. He said because we have treated and taken care Jolean so well so he bought us dinner.

Look at our prawns!

Integra Training, Day 6

Woke up late, we were very tired because of yesterday's activities.

We decided to skip our group dinner tonight to a seafood restaurant. Wei tried to talk me to go with them, telling me that the seafood restaurant was very good! He said that I had to forget my diets for now and eat with them. Wah, I know the place. It was same place we went in 2003.

Better to exercise and sleep early. Susan took a swim and I joined the yoga class. Damn, I'm so fat that I had some problems to do the movements I used to do easily.

After taking yoga class, we went to Patpong to buy some stuffs.

Integra Training, Day 5

It's Sunday..........Wei has arranged a trip with our group. We started very early, went on a big bus. Not all came along, they had different plans. From Bangkok to Floating Market, 2 hours outside Bangkok. Wei didn't come with us because he went on the tour many times and he had to do some work.

On the way to the market, we dropped by at a place where they made coconut sugar. I bought coconuts chips. Don't have it back home.

(Picture: coconut sugar - white stuff on the right)

 

After 45 minutes, we continued our trip. We needed to ride a boat through the canals to the floating market. It was a long boat and narrow canals. People's houses above the river. I thought I would buy some stuffs there but I found out that the price is higher than Bangkok. My eyes caught some pretty hand bags, with beads and all. Wanted three of them at 1,000 Baht. Unfortunately, the three bags I wanted didn't belong to one seller. So I didn't buy them.
Jason bought some mango.

A girl took our picture when we got on the boat. We found a lady displayed our pictures on a plate near our bus. I straight away bought it as a souvenir.

Cool Bus

From there, the trip continued to Royal Thai Handicraft where they made beautiful wooden crafts, a paper made from tree branches. Only windows shopped, nothing interested me, although there were silk scarfs, 500 Baht each.
Hungry, hungry.........We arrived at Samphrand, elephant and crocodile show. Had our lunch first at the restaurant then we watched the show. It was an awesome incredible show. The elephants were doing performance and playing soccer. Then, when it was over, we could take some pictures of them or ride them.
The guys went to see crocodile show, but on our way to the place, me and Susan stopped at a clothing store. We bought T-shirts and missed the show.
Goodness, weather was very very hot and I wore my long sleeve shirt (well, I had to ....lol).
I felt very tired. We got to hotel not very late. I thought I would have early rest so I would have the energy for Monday. But, the other part of me said to go with the girls for only awhile. Jolean wanted to go to the night market near the hotel (Patpong).
And what did I do? I shopped and shopped. We were there until mid night!
Bad thing was, some birds pooed at us while they were flying. Whaaaa..............
