For Fun at Impact

I was at the Bangkok Gems and Jewelry fair and getting quite bored as there is nothing much to do. So I decided to get my co-worker to take some pics.

Next Station Bang Sue

This morning went to Jatujak weekend market with friend to buy some thing for my office. I decided to relax abit before the sun goes down better shoot some picture.

I think of Bang Sue train Station as I used to go there to catch the train to Ayuthaya with my cousin, sandy who live in the states. Other reason that I choose to take picture at the train station is that Thailand has train in the Reign of King Rama 5, a hundred years ago but Thailand has not develop much of the train system. We have the BTS and the subway but it only provide the ease of the inner city people. It does not comute people in the outer Bangkok which I hope all the rail would be done very soon.




When I take the picture of this train Ifeel very happy. The train driver smiles at me as like
no one has ever taking picture at his train.


Commuter headding home.

Go.



Hope less. The pole left behind of the Hope Well train structure. The company collaps with the Thai Ecconomy during the 1997 when Thailand enter the program with the IMF.

Bangkok Gems And Jewelry Fair (Press Con)

Today I have opportunity to attend the press conference of the Bangkok Gems and Jewelry Fair which will be held September 18 - 23, 2007 at Challenger Hall Impact Mung Thong Thani


The president of Gems and Jewelry Trader association Mr. Pornchai.

Follow by the models....


It is my first time taking picture of fashion show. It is harder than I thought.

The models are walking very fast. The light is very low and you are using long zoom.

Canon 90 - 300 on Canon EOS 300d. It is very hard to have the picture sharp.

Most of my pictures are blur.

Only these are ok.

Hope you enjoy them.



The end.

Osaka - Tokyo, 2007

Fly To Japan Via Thai Airways Boeing 777 - 300. Sadly no PTV as I expect to watch movies during the flight.

Visit many shops in Osaka, espcially the cloths shops. This shop I particularly like as it decorated the shop in the traditional Japanese style. The t-shirts, jeans, jackets, etc are in the traditional Japanese designs.





Fashion in Osaka... It is different from Tokyo. Tokyo tend to use simple color, brand intensive. Osaka is more fashioned.

Building in Oksaka

Mc Donald's ... First time have Mc Donald's in Japan. It is quite delicious. Now they have pork burger on promotion 200 Yen (117 = 1 US$).

If I am not mistaken... this is ramen resturant...

Not sure about this one but the dragon look cute.

No idea what this one is but look authentic.

The Ramen

Lets hop out and see the street of Osaka... Most of the japanese riding bikes which I think it's great. Using public transports. The trains in Japan is very convinence. You can get around town very easy with trains. You only need to ride bike to the train station and park it there. If you live little bit further bus is good way of transport. Taxi is rarely use.


If you dont want to ride a bike, city car like this is very convinence also but the problem is the parking can be very expensive.

Osaka by night.




Church near my hotel.

Tong Katsu. Very delicious deep fried pork.

Takoyaki is a must for Osaka. Osaka is famous for Tako Yaki and Okonomi Yaki.


Going on Shinkansen to Tokyo for work :(

Shops in the Shinkansen station.
