sawsdee..lah: Splish, splash
http://sawasdeelah.blogspot.com/2009/04/splish-splash.html
Monday, April 6, 2009. This is what Songkran is ALL about. It helps that April is normally the hottest month of the year (it can reach to 40C). So having water thrown at you is welcoming. If you are walking along the main Sukhumvit area, you will generally be asked (very politely) if it's OK to have water dribbled/squirted at you. It's hard to say no in the spirit of the event. But if you do decline, a smile goes a long way. Throw in a water fight with a truckload of Thais and we all had a blast! What's ...

sawsdee..lah: October 2008
http://sawasdeelah.blogspot.com/2008_10_01_archive.html
Thursday, October 30, 2008. Tofu, Japanese style. I have to admit that I'm not very health conscious when it comes to food. I love fried, salty, greasy food. My friends will tell you that my ultimate favourite food is fried chicken, especially the skin. We love tofu. We love Japanese food. There is a ramen shop nearby that serves this cold tofu. I decided to make my own version. It is easy to prepare (no cooking required), tasty and best of all, healthy! 3-4 tbs soya sauce ). 3-4 sesame oil ) mixed.

Tuesday, May 12, 2009. As is baa- baa, in Thailand? That was my reaction when I heard about this farm/resort. I Googled it and it looked really nice. But pictures do lie don't they. So we decided to make a day trip out of it. Three families set off (seven adults, five children and one big dog). There is a restaurant there that surprisingly has only one lamb dish (and it's NZ lamb) on its menu. Guess the sheep there are to add to the scenery only and not to feed the hungry hordes (people like me). Read my...

sawsdee..lah: Thank heavens, for little girls....
http://sawasdeelah.blogspot.com/2009/03/thank-heavens-for-little-girls.html
Tuesday, March 31, 2009. Thank heavens, for little girls. Today I am thinking of the women who have in one way or other affected my life. The most important person is the one who gave me life - my mum. It's been seven years since she died and I think about her every single day. I am what I am because of her. The next woman who played a part in making me who I am was my maternal grandmother. She had it tough. 10 children and no maid! A very touching post E! April 4, 2009 at 7:34 AM. I'm glad I realised ho...

sawsdee..lah: April 2009
http://sawasdeelah.blogspot.com/2009_04_01_archive.html
Saturday, April 18, 2009. Water, water everywhere. This year's Songkran was marred by the political unrest that started a few days before the New Year. Since living here, we have experienced a coup, state of emergencies (think it was three) and a few protests. In a way, it's been interesting to see this kind of political mechanism work (rightly or wrongly). Monday, April 6, 2009. This is what Songkran is ALL about. It helps that April is normally the hottest month of the year (it can reach to 40C). S...

sawsdee..lah: February 2009

Monday, February 23, 2009. View from the room. ALL rooms have sea veiw. Hua Hin is a little further (about 2 hour drive) but because the Thai Royal family has a residence there, there is an absence of go-go bars and strip joints. They still have stretches of beaches that are fairly secluded far away from the crowd. I was enjoying reading my book whilst stuffing my face with eclairs and chips :). I escaped from the heat for a while and curled up in a chair to read. Niiiceee. A holiday is not complete with...
