Postcard from...Bangkok, Thailand

Dear Jim

Today is December 17th. I and my friend have to return to Japan tonight :(

We went to the railway market and the floting market today by tourist tour. Because the markets are difficult plave to go by ourselves, and we are a bit tired :)

The railway market is so narrow market. Space between train and shops are about 10cm

I was able to record the movie from the train, so I'm going to show it at next classroom, and a lot of pictures too.

I'm looking forward top see you next time!

Best wishes,

Makiko

 

Hotel review - Keemala, Phuket, Thailand

Keemala is a luxury nature resort, located in Phuket, Thailand. It is set in the beautiful rainforest. You will be greeted with a welcome cold lemongrass tea while you are checking in. Then you will be taken to your secluded guest villa, which has a private pool. 

In Keemala, you can enjoy delicious Thai cuisine with great views of the beach and nature, or have your dinner served by your villa’s private poolside. The breakfast buffet is also amazing,which has many fresh fruits, and you can drink fresh juice made from them. 

There are some free activity programs such as yoga exercise, making flower laes and cooking. There is also a spa villa where you can get spa treatments and Thai massage with herbal tea. 

You will find the hotel staff friendly, efficient, and ready to help in any way. All general services are available during your stay. The guest villa is on the side of a hill, so a cart will pick you up if needed.

Whether you are looking for nature, peace,or comfort, Keemala is your ideal holiday choice.

Sa wat dii ka                                                  Hello!

How are you, everyone?

I'm now in Bangkok, Thailand. I have a training in Ramathibod Hospital - Mahidol University for one month. I've already finished the training in P.I.C.U. (Pediatric Intensive Care Unit) and I'm going to Infectious Pediatrics Ward for 2 weeks. I'll be careful not to get Malaria, Zika fever or Dengue fever!! Ha ha

See you in 2 - 3 weeks

Hello, Jim

I'm in Bangkok, Thailand.

I'm doing very well!

I enjoyed shopping at one of the biggest malls in Bangkok. Again, I've found that Thai is a country of "smile".

The Quest - places to visit in Thailand

I had been to Thailand once and I recommend to visit “Phi Phi islands.

Phi Phi islands are approx.. 90 min. boarding from Phuket and consist of 6 small islands.

1. Phi Phi Don
2. Phi Phi Leh
3. Bida Nok
4. Bida Nai
5. Phai is called Bamboo Island
6. Young is called Mosquito island and is inhabited to enter

The major islands are Phi Phi Don and Phi Phi Leh with Maya Bay island which became famous by the movie "The Beach".

All of beach of Phi Phi islands are very very beautiful and all travelers can relax and refresh well by unbelievable nice view.

Especially, I recommend to visit Maya Bay in Phi Phi Leh island where can see more beautiful emerald green sea and to enjoy scuba diving to see tropical fishes and shelf of coral though I didn’t do it.

Also, Thailand has many famous/delicious foods.

Some foods may strange for Japanese and the food called “Tom Yam Kung” is not good for me, but is will be good experience/memory for traveler.

I think it is important to take many photos to remember Thailand after traveler goes back to home country, but I would like all travelers to see beautiful views actually to engrave those beautiful views and experiences in traveler’s mind’s eye.

Dear Jim

Hi! Hope all is well with you.

I have come to Thailand to have a husband with mother now.

Thailand is still very warm!

We came a lot watching the attractions.

This postcard is Wat Mahathat. Of course, this also came to watch. This is very beautiful and mysterious. Do you have that you also saw?

See you! Aoi

Bangkok, Thailand - postcard from Olimpiada

Greetings from Bangkok!!

I've been meaning to send a card since I came here...but the CELTA course keeps me busy every day. I like the course, it is really useful, I think, although it's a bit too intensive :)

I've managed to see a couple of sights of Bangkok. The one in the picture is the Chapel of the Emerald Buddha. It's a very beautiful place. I loved it. I wish I had more time for sight-seeing.

Best, Olimpiada
