Bangkok / Pattaya Dec 9-13, 2006

Tuesday, December 19th, 2006
I’ve uploaded 100+ photos from my recent Bangkok/Pattaya trip - click
.
And also uploaded in 6 albums in ringo - click
.
Arrived in Bangkok last Saturday Dec 9th nearly 7pm at your new airport. I was actually booked on Thai but had 2 friends who wanted me to follow them on Airasia, so I refunded my Thai ticket and booked with them. The new airport in Bangkok is really beautiful - congratulations!
.
Sunday Dec 10th was my expo, product launch, recognition and awards followed by annual dinner at the bangkok convention centre.   Met up with May from Hatyai, Somchai, Aon and Mew from Bangkok Finished at 11pm and it was a long day, so went back to hotel to sleep.
.
Monday left bangkok and went to the Sri Racha Tiger
Zoo & Crocodile Farm. Enjoyed eating the fried
crocodile - you gotta try it!
.
Then went to the honey factory before reaching Pattaya to stay 2 nights. The Alcazar katoey show was very well done. Friends say this is the family show and the more exciting show is the Tiffany show. Later went to meet a friend for some drinks and supper.
.
Tuesday morning went to Coral Island - too crowded & noisy!.Don’t recommend it if you want peace and quite - unless someone is interested in water sports.
.
The Dark Light Gems Gallery was after lunch. Good information from this gallery, but I skipped this to go back to the hotel to meet up Pat who wanted to learn more about the Unicity products and business.
.
Pat then drove me to join the group for a 2 hour traditional Thai massage. That was only so so. I’ve had better and cheaper before at Oscars in Hatyai.
.
My friend Kook from Rayong drove 1 hour to meet me and we went to Fuji for a Japanese dinner. Later Pao and Bee from Bangkok came and we went for dinner (my 2nd!) and later the 3 of us joined Pat for some drinks.
.
Wednesday I went to the Nong Nooch Village for
the cultural and elephant show - wow - so incredible. And by 3.30pm was at the airport to catch the 6pm flight back to KL.
.
Quite a rushed trip, but did manage to meet up 9
internet friends who came to meet me during my
5 day stay for lunch and dinner breaks. (sorry I forgot to take photos of some who came!)
.
Sleeping at 3-4am and waking up at 6am is not my style and I’m glad to be back home - sleeping at 3am and waking up at 10am daily.
.
Well next trips are to Singapore Dec 29-30 and then to Jakarta Jan 9-11. Updates coming soon!.

1 x 8 + 1 = 9
12 x 8 + 2 = 98
123 x 8 + 3 = 987
1234 x 8 + 4 = 9876
12345 x 8 + 5 = 98765
123456 x 8 + 6 = 987654
1234567 x 8 + 7 = 9876543
12345678 x 8 + 8 = 98765432
123456789 x 8 + 9 = 987654321

1 x 9 + 2 = 11
12 x 9 + 3 = 111
123 x 9 + 4 = 1111
1234 x 9 + 5 = 11111
12345 x 9 + 6 = 111111
123456 x 9 + 7 = 1111111
1234567 x 9 + 8 = 11111111
12345678 x 9 + 9 = 111111111
123456789 x 9 +10= 1111111111

9 x 9 + 7 = 88
98 x 9 + 6 = 888
987 x 9 + 5 = 8888
9876 x 9 + 4 = 88888
98765 x 9 + 3 = 888888
987654 x 9 + 2 = 8888888
9876543 x 9 + 1 = 88888888
98765432 x 9 + 0 = 888888888

Brilliant, isn’t it? And finally, take a look at this symmetry:

1 x 1 = 1
11 x 11 = 121
111 x 111 = 12321
1111 x 1111 = 1234321
11111 x 11111 = 123454321
111111 x 111111 = 12345654321
1111111 x 1111111 = 1234567654321
11111111 x 11111111 = 123456787654321
