Goodbye to March 2008
Goodbye to March 2008
A day early, but nonetheless time to say goodbye to the March 2008 edition.
This March didn't start out nicely. It was merely continuing the bad weather patch we had during February and for March that was a very unusual weather pattern. Although the rainy season 'officially' isn't over until March, it was rather very unusual having such a bad weather patch during that time of the year.
There was a lot of rain and not so much sunshine. Half way through March things turned around for the better though and from than onwards it's been the good old sun turning up the heat and every day has seen lots of sunshine and temperature in the lower 30C zone.
Things look god for April coming up, usually the hottest month of the year on Samui!

Hotel Recommendation: The Chedi
Update 2011 - The Chedi is now called "The Surin" - when this review was originally written, the name was still Chedi. Now it's Surin.
The Surin Hotel is just the right place for a bit of quiet seclusion. Not a cheap hotel, but the last minute prices can be much better. But, it has to be said, you get your money's worth. The Surin has it's own private beach in between Surin and Bang Tao beaches. The scenery is beautiful along the coast here and you're off the main tourist beaches. Having said that, The Surin is not too far from anywhere. About 20 minutes to the airport, about 25 to Patong if you want a bit of nightlife.
The Surin provides one-bedroom and two-bedroom thatched cottages with private verandahs and sun decks. It's a very nice looking place. The New York Times review says "From the exotic lobby (with columns and lily pond) to sleek and handsome private bungalows, it is one of the most handsome properties on the island. It's quality with a big price tag, but this romantic getaway has it down to the details."
Actually, compared to it's nearest neighbour (Amanpuri Resort) The Surin is quite reasonably priced! You can just about walk down to Surin beach from the hotel, where you can find more dining options, or eat at one of the 3 restaurants at the resort - they also apparently do beach BBQ's on Pansea Beach. Looks like paradise to me!

Swiss pharmacy in Lamai?
Located this sign in Lamai.
First impression may seem to be that everything is right with the sign, but have a good second look!
Sometimes I wonder if Thais can get anything right, this sure looks like a Swiss pharmacy to me.
Located yesterday on the ringroad in Lamai.

GPS is your Best Traveling Companion
Simple explanation for GPS (Global Positioning System)
Question : "What is the numbers on your blog?" example : N5°08.286' E102°48.663'
Answer : This is GPS Coordinates.
They are many types of GPS devices in our local market. The common 2 types are : Road navigation and outdoor activities. Range from MYR350.00 to MYR2,500.00. The popular brand in Malaysia and even international is Garmin. And the popular models available locally are : Nuvi200 series, NUvi300 series, NUvi600 series, GPS60 CSX, eTrex Vista HCX and eTrex series. All models are suitable to different application.
All the above mention devices are built-in the "Auto-routing" function that navigate you from one place to another. The devices will prompt or alert you in voice for the next turn and even some proximity alert, if you miss the 'turn' prompt from the device, please don't get panic....because it will recalculate another alternative route immediately.
Question : "What is the monthly charges?"
Answer : There is no monthly charges for it. Only the equipment cost.
Question : "Where can we get Malaysia and Singapore GPS map?"
Answer : MalSingMaps (It's FREE!!! The map also built-in with many and many useful POI)
Question : "What is POI?"
Answer : Places Of Interest
Once you get you GPS device, you can log-in to Malsingmaps and start to learn the step-by-step uploading map to the device. 2 versions available : Locked & Unlocked.
Locked : You need to contribute to the community to receive you unlocked code for the latest update map.
Unlocked : You can load to any device with this detail map, updated June 2007.
Another alternative is using PDA (Personal Digital Asistant) for GPS Road Navigation. (It's not suitable for outdoor activity because of it's not weatherproof)
Solution :
If you already a PDA owner, you can just buy another GPS Receiver (Bluetooth or CF type) to make it become your navigation guide.
Step-by-step configuration is available at Malsingmaps.
A little bit of me.......
I am using the second alternative.
I bought my GPS during 2003 because of I need to travel to Kuala Lumpur (from JB) twice a week. I wasted too much time on the road for searching my clients office therefore I decided to get myself a Navigation Angel!
During that time, I paid MYR650.00 for my Haicom 302 Compact Flash GPS Receiver and attach with my Dell Axim X5 PDA. I'm still suffering from map data because Malsingmaps hasn't born yet! So I paid another MYR450.00 for Agis MY & SG map. It's does not built-in the Auto-routing function in the map! But better than nothing.
Started from that day, I am a HAPPY GPS owner. It's really comfort while you drive to certain area that you never been before!
Until 2005, I found Malsingmaps! (previously was MySubaruclub) My nightmare on the road became history! And thanks to the Hardcore members from this forum make it become the most comprehensive Malaysia & Singapore GPS map today. (I call it Perfect!)
Recently, I just upgrade my PDA to Dell Axim X51V and pair with Wintec Bluetooth GPS (model : WBT-201/G-Rays II).
So I always advice my friends those who are traveler frequently , please get yourself the best traveling companion with the affordable price!
You will amazing with the navigation system! You won't travel without it!

Meteorologist warns hot season is approaching
Meteorologist warns hot season is approaching
From today's Bangkok Post
The weather bureau has warned that temperatures could rise as high as 41 degrees Celsius, and cited global warming as a possible cause.
Weather expert Torsak Wanitkajorn said the changing weather pattern could see some parts of Thailand experiencing a heat wave in April as usual.
He further explained that tropical storms currently experienced in some provinces are the result of a cold front over parts of the country which could last until May. The northern, central and northeastern regions are at risk for season storms, and locals should be prepared.
Meanwhile, the problem of haze over Chiang Mai improved on Tuesday. Authorities said the situation is now close to normal. Dust level near Phu Ping Palace was recorded at 119 microgrammes per cubic metre, considered normal for this time of year.

Aux Amis, Bophud
Aux Amis restaurant has moved down to Bophud.
They're located in the thickst of it in Bophud and they updated their menu a bit as well, but still, each Tuesday it's Mussels with French Fries and each Friday they still cook a big pan of Paella.
If you come from the Bophud traffic lights, keep going straight under the Fisherman's Village sign and take a left once you reach the beach road, after about 100 meters on the right hand side is their new location.
They have two floors now and the view over the bay and onto Koh Phangan is a killer! The upper floor is very nice, with dinner tables and is also supporting a lovely seating area to kick back and just have some drinks.
Still highly recommended and definitely worthwhile for just seeing Bophud at night!

Unfortunately Aux Amis has closed it's doors and there's a new French restaurant at the same location in Fisherman's Village.
Their old location in Bang Rak has been abandoned and they're rockin' alright in Bophud.

Phuket Food Festival
The Phuket Food Festival 2008 started on 19th March and runs until the 28th. It's an annual event organised by the Phuket Food Vendors Club and Phuket City Municipality. I managed to convince my family that it would be worthwhile having a look on Saturday evening, and I think we might go back again one evening this week for some cheap tasty food! The event is being held at Sapan Hin, in the south of Phuket City. Many local events are held there during the year. Sapan Hin is by the sea, has lots of open spaces, and also features sports facilities (we've been to see my wife's dad playing Takraw there!).
We arrived at the food festival in the late afternoon so I could snap some photos of the food stalls before dark. There's around 50 or 60 stalls selling everything from Phad Thai to BBQ Fresh Water Prawns, fried fish, Sai Ua (spicy northern sausages), Satay sticks and much more. We even found a stall selling coffee from Chumphon (my wife's home town).
This festival is well worth a look. The food is good and cheap, a great chance to sample many different dishes and get a bit of local life. I did see a handful of foreign faces on Saturday, but this is very much a local Phuket event, organised and run by locals for locals. It'll be on my calendar for next year for sure.
Need to wash down that food, never worry! There are several beer stalls selling draft Singha or Leo Beer, as well as stalls selling ice coffee, fresh juices and there was a Chinese tea stall also. I think you could come and eat here every night of the week!
The festival runs from late afternoon until about 11pm. After dark, the entertainment starts. There are bands playing, local schools doing song and dance acts. A big stage has been set up. There were some young girls doing dancing and singing which our 6 year old daughter wanted to watch and she thought was very beautiful. Some guys were warming up with guitars too, ready to rock the night away.
Hungry? Maybe see you there this week!

Am on Koh Tao this morning and it's similar to Samui, a blue sky and warm with a current temp at 7 am of 28C.
In Koh Tao I was completing Dive Instructor Specialty training with some of my students.
Yesterday was another hot day with a max temp of 30.5C.

The lake is too beautiful to be true! But...luck was not on their side because of cloudy day.
First stop - The Saok Waterfall of Kenyir Lake (N5°04.985' E102°46.734')
Look at the beautiful waterfall!
Children are TOO happy to see this waterfall.....
After the waterfall cold water, they continue the Second stop.......
Look at the fish!
Everyone was exhausted after the boat ride but with lovely smile on their faces.....
They went back to the resort for their dinner and take good rest to the third day long journey back to Johor Bahru.
Along the journey back, they meet the Flood of the year (December 2007) at Pekan. The water level was to high to pass through and also force them to de-route from Pekan back to Kuantan, and drive through KL to Johor Bahru. Additional 249KM!
But they are enjoy their slow drive and stop by Seremban for the Famous Authentic Baked Crab dinner!
