Thai Business Trip 2008

After 5 pleasure trips to Thailand since 2000, I am travelling there again for business. No beach side resort this time, I'm heading North to a farming area where there happens to be an oil field.

Thai Business Trip 2008: Then and now

http://gracewing4.blogspot.com/2008/09/then-and-now.html

Thai Business Trip 2008. Tuesday, September 16, 2008. I have been unable to get wireless internet connection using the password I used last time I was here. For some reason they have tightened up and wireless has to be set up by the IT department. There is now wireless at the office as well but I have been using a cable up till now. A few minor improvement and fixes so far today, so I will start to work on the back log of help screens and reports. Chicken steak for dinner, spaghetti for lunch. I play Gol...

Thai Business Trip 2008: Girl about town

http://gracewing4.blogspot.com/2008/09/girl-about-town.html

Thai Business Trip 2008. Sunday, September 14, 2008. On Saturday I went to the office working with the operators and sorting out some problems. I left about 2 and Pairot took me for a bit of a drive through town. At one stage we saw a snake cross the road, only a block or so away from the main street. There is a new temple being build behind the lake but the road turns right past the old temple which is looking a bit neglected. We got out then and walked around the statues. As well as the reclini...I the...

Thai Business Trip 2008: Pyramid schemes

http://gracewing4.blogspot.com/2008/09/pyramid-schemes.html

Thai Business Trip 2008. Thursday, September 11, 2008. I am now back at Hotel Pyramid for another week. The trip was about 16 hours from when I got up till when I got to the room. I left home about 6-45am and apart from a bit of heavy traffic just before the airport turn off had no problems getting there and again was quickly through checkin and passport control. I had time for some breakfast in the Qantas lounge before we boarded the flight. Looks like some calls to the airline and insurance company may...

Thai Business Trip 2008: Plans are made

http://gracewing4.blogspot.com/2008/09/plans-are-made.html

Thai Business Trip 2008. Tuesday, September 16, 2008. Last night I went for a run again. This time I ran to the other side of the bridge to add the extra distance to make it 5 km. It took me about 38 minutes. We are still discovering new problems with the software, most of them are related to the data collection rather than the code but I added a number of new features and fixed some bugs as well as working on the rest of the help screens. The latter are now up to date. Next I booked a hotel. I would...

Thai Business Trip 2008: On the move

http://gracewing4.blogspot.com/2008/09/on-move.html

Thai Business Trip 2008. Friday, September 12, 2008. Narwin arranged for me to move rooms. The room I stayed the first night was one of the wooden buildings – pine floorboards, walls etc. as well as the furniture. And the latter was the problem – not enough of it. No cupboards or drawers and no desk to use the laptop on. I guess they just used whatever was around. Once I’d moved rooms and unpacked I changed and – wait for it – went for a run! It was approaching 7-30 by then and I drank 2 bottles of water...

Thailand 2009: A gem of a place...

http://gracewing7.blogspot.com/2009/04/gem-of-place.html

After missing out on the annual golf trip last year due to a clash with hockey, I was keen to participate again this year. By coincidence, my Thai client wanted some further work done on the software and additional training so I was able to combine these two activities in the one trip. Thursday, April 2, 2009. A gem of a place. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). I play Golf off a 7 handicap and I have played hockey (field not ice) for Western Australia in the Veterans championship 9 times and for ...

Hockey and holiday 2008: October 2008

http://gracewing6.blogspot.com/2008_10_01_archive.html

Hockey and holiday 2008. My 5th trip away in 6 months will encompass the Vets Hockey championship, visiting friends and family and the Mensa conference, taking me away from home for another month. Saturday, October 25, 2008. Then continue my walk through the pier area, past some working docks and up the hill to the war memorial. From there you have a 360 degree view of the bay, the bridge , the city and the mountains. We swung back to the Hobart side short of the bridge and pulled up just about on the ho...

New Zealand Hockey Trip 2008: Up one side and down the other

http://gracewing3.blogspot.com/2008/05/up-one-side-and-down-other.html

New Zealand Hockey Trip 2008. After a number of unsuccessful nominations I am finally selected to play hockey for Australia. This blog covers the Trans Tasman Championship and a week's holiday I took afterwards. This was my first trip to New Zealand. The trip is over and the blog is finished. It may make more sense to read from the bottom up. Wednesday, May 21, 2008. Up one side and down the other. I decide to have a quick look at Phil’s hotel – the Swiss Chalet – before I left.

Thailand Golf Holiday: Two new interests come together

http://gracewing2.blogspot.com/2007/07/two-new-interests-come-together.html

After missing out on playing golf on my last holiday in Thailand, I travel again to the land of smiles with some people from my golf club, specifically to play a few rounds. Thursday, July 5, 2007. Two new interests come together. After my holiday in Thailand in October 2006. After a decent wait of 3 months to ensure I was going to continue with it, I bought some new clubs and found myself not only playing pennants but being the team captain. I also managed to win the B grade competition on the first...

Hockey and holiday 2009: Long time no see

http://gracewing9.blogspot.com/2009/10/long-time-no-see.html

Hockey and holiday 2009. It's October again and this year I'm off to Hobart for the Vets hockey championship. This year I'm coming home straight away and then heading to Adelaide a fortnight later, to see family and then onto the Mensa conference in the Blue Mountains. Monday, October 26, 2009. Long time no see. I'm travelling again, this time to Adelaide. We also looked at some of the photos from Hobart. Dad got home about 6. He'd last his match but had won a meat tray in the raffle. Very interesting an...

US and Thailand 2010: A lazy day

http://gracewing10.blogspot.com/2010/04/saturday-3rd-once-again-i-was-awake.html

US and Thailand 2010. After the success of the last 2 trips to the US I have again been asked to spend some time in the client's office developing new features to their software. By a stroke of good fortune, the timing will allow me to stop in Thailand on the way home to play golf with the guys and 1 girl from my old club. Friday, April 2, 2010. Once again I was awake around 5 and again I did some work for Houston. If I can't sleep I might as well be getting paid for being awake. I play Golf off a ...

Hockey and holiday 2009. It's October again and this year I'm off to Hobart for the Vets hockey championship. This year I'm coming home straight away and then heading to Adelaide a fortnight later, to see family and then onto the Mensa conference in the Blue Mountains. Sunday, November 8, 2009. What, this old place? The Mensa conference was held at the Carrington Hotel In Katoomba. This is a colonial style hotel that was re-furbished and modernised so most rooms have en-suites. Fortunately the hotel had ...

This year I'm coming home straight away and then heading to Adelaide a fortnight later, to see family and then onto the Mensa conference in the Blue Mountains. Monday, October 26, 2009. We looked at my photos from the last US trip before dinner and then watched TV again.

By a stroke of good fortune, the timing will allow me to stop in Thailand on the way home to play golf with the guys and 1 girl from my old club. Thursday, April 1, 2010. A long night's journey into day. Once in HK I headed for the Cathay lounge, going up the escalator and down again several times before I finally found it.

New Zealand Hockey Trip 2008: Blowing off steam

New Zealand Hockey Trip 2008. After a number of unsuccessful nominations I am finally selected to play hockey for Australia. This blog covers the Trans Tasman Championship and a week's holiday I took afterwards. This was my first trip to New Zealand. The trip is over and the blog is finished. It may make more sense to read from the bottom up. Thursday, May 22, 2008. The sun was shining again, much like the last few days in Hamilton, so it was quite pleasant. I even took off my tracksuit top. From there I...

Bali and round the world, 2012

Bali and round the world, 2012. Once Again I am off to the Mensa gatherings for Asia, the International Board and Australia. In between the last 2, I will be in the US for work, with a golf holiday before that starts. Wednesday, December 26, 2012. This is the third Cypress named course I've played here. Cypresswood is also here in Houston and Grand Cypress was in Florida. This course was what I'd call a parkland course, some thing like Collier Park and similar courses in Perth.

Singapore and Canada 2013

Singapore and Canada 2013. Another year has passed, and once again I head overseas for this year's Mensa conferences. Monday, September 23, 2013. Wait a minute - or an hour or a day. It's all over and today we are heading in various directions at various times. It seems 10 of us have flights around 9pm so we'll share cabs to the airport but many goodbyes have already been said. I have spent the rest of the time just sitting in the hotel lobby, doing stuff on the internet and chatting to others from Mensa...

I was glad I'd bought the return ticket yesterday since the single is 5pound and the return 9. I left the country with about 75p in coins in my wallet, so would have been short for 2 singles. I managed to get very thing on the plane ok. The luggage limit is higher than on domestic flights and after a query...

Thailand Golf Holiday

After missing out on playing golf on my last holiday in Thailand, I travel again to the land of smiles with some people from my golf club, specifically to play a few rounds. Saturday, July 14, 2007. Saturday was the last day of the holiday with the pickup for the airport scheduled for 4am Sunday. Most of us spent a fair bit of the day in or around the pool, reading and trying to tan those bits that are covered by the golf socks and glove. Friday, July 13, 2007. A different group of 5 went to dinner nearb...

My breakfast in bed arrived pretty much in time but it was really breakfast in my room as I had to get up to let the maid in and I ate it at the table anyway. I then looked at other colours and after looking at both peridot (light green) and the topaz decided on the latter. I bought a set of ring, pendant and studs and then foudn a matching bracelet.

US 2009

After last year's trip to the US, the first in 9 years I was not expecting another one this soon.

Passport and customs was pretty quick and I was soon in a taxi heading home. There was a fair bit of mail waiting and a bit of new email. I looked at the new Mensa crossword and figured out the grid before going to bed. ...I'm sure ...
