South of Bangkok & beyond: October 2008
http://travels-south-of-bangkok.blogspot.com/2008_10_01_archive.html
South of Bangkok and beyond. My photo travel journals south of Bangkok and southern provinces. Surely I skip the 3 provinces of the deep south where separatists fight for independence. Thursday, October 23, 2008. Coastal drive - Ban Laem to Hat Chao Samran. I've driven the 30km stretch of coastal roads between Ban Laem and Hat Chao Samran many times over. I would always take my time without any hurry and enjoyed scenes along the way. Can't explain why high concentrations of it leads to pink! It brings li...

North of Bangkok & beyond: January 2009
http://travels-north-of-bangkok.blogspot.com/2009_01_01_archive.html
North of Bangkok and beyond. Saturday, January 31, 2009. Road Trip 2008 - Part 6, Wat Rong Kun. Wat Rong Kun is like no other temple in Thailand. Why? It is an expression of art rather than a place of worship. Hence one may not see monks and their living quarters around. It is a vision of artist Chalermchai Kositpipat who dedicate this work to His Majesty King Bhumibol Adulyadej. Poster boy Khun Charlermchai himself. The magnificent sight of Wat Rong Kun came to sight with visitors streaming in. Gold, al...

Java: Short visit to Jakarta & Bandung
http://travels-indonesia.blogspot.com/2008/11/short-visit-to-jakarta-bandung.html
The densest populated island in the world. Friday, November 14, 2008. Short visit to Jakarta and Bandung. Whenever I traveled to Jakarta, I would spend a day or 2 at Bandung about 2 hrs away. Bandung, the 4th largest city of Indonesia of 2 millions, is elevated at 768M (2,520ft). So it's the cool climate there that appeals. Besides, reports of rains and floodings around Jakarta don't sound encouraging this time. Situated in a basin surrounded by volcanic mountains. Pay only what you eat. Stopped over to ...

My Hobby Farms: A lazy Sunday morning
http://my-swiftlet-farm.blogspot.com/2011/07/lazy-sunday-morning.html
This has become a hobby farm. Over time, more activities has evolved and extend beyond swiftlet ranching. The theme remains centered on ecological and sustainable living. Sunday, July 31, 2011. A lazy Sunday morning. What else better to do than to laze in bed on a wet Sunday morning, until someone called me out. It was Chang Noi seeking permission to fish. He is back to build a new bird house nearby and extends him an open invitation to fish at my farm. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). North Queenslan...

My Hobby Farms: January 2010
http://my-swiftlet-farm.blogspot.com/2010_01_01_archive.html
This has become a hobby farm. Over time, more activities has evolved and extend beyond swiftlet ranching. The theme remains centered on ecological and sustainable living. Saturday, January 9, 2010. Having been away much of Nov, construction of the adjoining insect feeding room was delayed till Dec. I decided to extend it all the way to join up with the bird house - making it 12m x 11m x 4m. The builder used concrete pipes to make up the columns - a clever approach I think. Near Khao Yoi (between Samut So...

My Hobby Farms: August 2009
http://my-swiftlet-farm.blogspot.com/2009_08_01_archive.html
This has become a hobby farm. Over time, more activities has evolved and extend beyond swiftlet ranching. The theme remains centered on ecological and sustainable living. Sunday, August 23, 2009. Jun - July '09 updates. The other reason is work has gone internal; erecting the internal walls, plastering, installing nesting planks etc. These activities seem too mundane to talk about. Soon as internal works completed, the wall openings to bring in construction materials were finally closed off. The south-we...

My Hobby Farms: October 2009
http://my-swiftlet-farm.blogspot.com/2009_10_01_archive.html
This has become a hobby farm. Over time, more activities has evolved and extend beyond swiftlet ranching. The theme remains centered on ecological and sustainable living. Sunday, October 18, 2009. So what's next, from now on? Now that the farm house is completed, it is natural to ask what's next? Firstly, the blog title "Building a new swiftlet farm" is no longer appropriate. I gave it some thought and changed it to "My Swiftlet Farms". Nice view too from the toilet, isn't it? Trees large and small began...

My Hobby Farms: January 2011

This has become a hobby farm. Over time, more activities has evolved and extend beyond swiftlet ranching. The theme remains centered on ecological and sustainable living. Monday, January 24, 2011. Swiftlet Community Education Fund. Soon as I got back to Thailand, I were eager to set foot on my farm obviously. No dramas this time - a sigh of relief! Firstly I need to convince myself this is justifiable in terms of enrollments. Is there a sufficient population base of youths in the region? Sangklaburi is 5...
