I want to visit this awesome looking temple!
Travelling – this is practically what I live for. As you can see in my blog, I take pride in whatever fun and knowledge I can share with those who view it. I have come to a point where I want to expand my horizons and learn more about other countries, not just Bangkok. Being a traveler by heart and by blood, I want to start widening my knowledge about this continent. So I went online and decided to go where there is more nature than civilization and I decided that my first stop would be Myanmar.
In my interest, I wanted to know more about the place so that I could set up an itinerary. As expected, I came across many websites about Asia and Myanmar but I didn’t know that everything I wanted to find was in this English based Myanmar Forum. There are many Burmese people in the forum who are talking about their everyday lives. Of course, there are also tourists like me.
In my search, I was able to list down hotels, how much I need to spare for my accommodation, the places I need to visit for food delicacy tasting, a little bit of nightlife, security and of course, visa information. I wanted my trip to run as smoothly as possible that’s why I was this obsesses about setting it up. Right now, I have too many destinations listed and I only have 1 week for vacation so I’m trying to narrow it down as much as I can. However, it is just so hard to decide so I think I might just extend my leave! I hope I enjoy and can’t wait to share my experiences with you guys.

Happy Birthday Buddha! No alcohol sales in Thailand, enjoy the birthday party with Pepsi, Coke, and EST soda instead! 🙂
The sign in picture from Family Mart reads:
“May 24, 2013 Buddhist Holy Day. No All Alcohol sales at 12:00pm (May 23, 2013) until 11:am (May 25, 2013)”

Few nights ago I went into a Family Mart to buy Heineken and they were out of stock. So I decided to try this Ploy Siam beer. It is a very strong beer, at about 8% and has a taste that resembles wine. I would have to say that I did NOT like it, but it is a strong and cheap Thai beer, so it does serve it’s purpose at some times here in Thailand. 🙂
Any else tried this Thai beer, Ploy Siam, before?

His majesty King Bhumibol Adulyadej is usually the person on the back of the 100 baht bills circulating in Thailand, but recently I came across another bill, that has his son, the current Crown Prince of Thailand, Vajiralongkorn on the back of 100 baht bill. Ever since then, I’ve been checking every 100 baht bill that I come into possession with and cannot find another with Vajiralongkorn on it, except the 1 here in the pics.
After searching the net, I found this:
“The bank will also issue 10 million commemorative banknotes with a face value of 100 baht to celebrate HRH Crown Prince Maha Vajiralongkorn’s 5th cycle, or 60th birthday, on July 28 and circulate them in the financial system.
The front of the special edition 100-baht banknote will be identical to those currently in circulation.
The back, however, will bear a portrait of the Crown Prince Maha Vajiralongkorn in full regalia and an illustration depicting the Crown Prince’s investiture.”
The Central bank also issued commemorative 80-baht banknotes to represent the 80th birthday of Her Majesty the Queen.
