Things get distorted here.Gotta look beyond the obvious

The beauty of a woman Isnot in the clothes she wears, The figure that she carries, Or the way she combs her hair. The beauty of a woman Must be seen from her eyes, because that is the doorway to her heart, The place where love resides. The beauty of a woman Is not a facial mole, but true beauty in a woman Is reflected in her soul.

Before the work in this afternoon.Busy with going the bank,immigration office to register for new documentation and a lot to pay for them.I am sure the coming time will be hard cause i am broke.

Back to office,peopel at work just make fun of what i experienced.Before my holiday leave,I didn't tell anyone that i will have a short trip.But ever since i call back from thailand after all my document lost.The fact that i have been out for a trip is disclosed.People just be mean to say that are you sure you lost the money or you "Spend it on some special pleasure" .It is the sick culture of the people here with their pointless talk like a idiot,they think everyone are just do the same as them.Maybe they always spend for "some special pleasure" but that's not me.Plus it also disrespect saying this when they try to attach the terms "special pleasure" to the place i been visit.Upon their knowledge,the terms "special pleasure" could only be shallow as "sex and eat like there is no tomorrow" .That's the major reason why i never mention to anyone where did i go for visit or ev.Just try to avoid their god damn insulting words that i could hear which kill my good mood before i go visiting.

Leave work at 11:30 pm and i need a long sleep today to clear the head

Arrive the thailand immigration bureau at 10 am and fill in some forms for report the passport lost.Wait less then 30 minutes and they offer me a certificate to prove my identity and a document for me to check in the plane ticket and everything .Regret very much that why didn't I come here sooner.I haven't been charge of any money here and they just do it becasue they think i need it and they do it just to help.They approve a document for me to stay another 30 days,I really appreciate that but anyway I have to leave today.But i will come back here as soon as I can.

Arrive airport at 12:30,all the nervous feeling are gone.Only the tons of appreciation and joy comes afterward.Happy that I see many things nice in these few days stay here.Especially the people I see,they are awesome.Do a big favour to help unconditionally.Special thanks to mui who offer me accomodation and everything,Jane who assisit me in the embassy,all the friends's sms that try to offer help and anything do to console/comfort,Kai's commpany to Ayuttaya.Those are what i value the most.All you guys are pretty both inside and outside.I am truely touched and don't think i will forget them.

Everytime i have to leave this land make me want to stay longer and wait for coming back here as soon as i can.Really hope that one day i can live here and start my new life.

Get back hometown at 2100 after all the report statement at the police station.Mom and boss keep complaining this and that.But i didn't feel anything bad yet casue my mind is still occupied by the good feelings i have in the trip...

Embassy reopen on today at 9am.It is a long line up since 7 a.m. So i have ask the immigration of my home and they refer me to seek help at the chinese embassy.I don't know why is that.It is a mess the chinese officals do a stuff.Bad attitudes, arrogant.I never get the answer from the question i asked.Something as easy as what token i have to get regard to my situation.I was told to get a certain token but when my turn comes.They told that it is the wrong token.I have to re-line up again like for another one and a half hours.The form needed to fill in is really messed up.The title is not clear enough.Plus I don't understand the chinese words.Many people from china and Taiwan are there.Yell at the counter like threaten someone there,jump into the line without token and take some others turn to the counter.

I get frustrated after a while because none of the form there is for someone like me that lost the identity and requested for a emergency document to leave.Sitting next to me is a Australian women.She is with the same situation with me.Lost her own passport and she is there for visa to visit china for few days.I ask if i am at the right place and doing the right thing.She wonder why i am sent to chinese embassy and ask if anyone offer help from my own city.She told me she reported to australia embassy on last friday and the embassy offer her a document to prove her identity at the afternoon on the same day plus they ask if the aussie citizen need some emergency cash loan if all the belongs are gone.I was happy to hear that cause i guess this is the function of a embassy.But it is somehow the false hope when i try to talk with the officers there.I was unable to speak in chinese so they offer me a local thai officers to speak in english.I explain the situation that i lost all belongings ,all document.I ask if there is any other way that i could be consider as a emergency case as my plane ticket is postponed on tomorrow.It would be great if i can get the document today so that i can catch the flight tomorrow.

Frankly speaking ,it would be a diaster if they can't do that.Casue i don't have any cash for another plane ticket.Everythings look alright becasue i see the thai officers is speaking to her chinese supervisors.I know something ain't right when i see the supervisors shut her face on me.So the officers told that they are not responsible to that and told me to ask the immigration office of my city to offer help or wait 2 weeks.How they expect me to stay 2 more weeks with all the things gone.They should tell if they are helping or not.But not waste the time like this.If you not helping at least tell me where i should get help at.But they told me to come back at afternoon to pay for the services and some document.Unbeliveable!!

So i come back at the afternoon and come to the same counter.I requested to see the supervisor in the morning but she pretend she didn't see me in the morning or even have a deal to come back this afternoon.They give me one paper like a statement in police station.I don't know what the hell is that and why is that.Obviously this piece of paper mean nothing and the immigration in the airport will never recognize the document like this.What's more incredible is that they charge me 4000 bahts for this.Thinkin about what the aussie woman told me about the help she get from her own embassy.The things i experience and what i see is completly a different story.I really hate about the chinese attitude,the way they treat a people,they way they handle stuff.They believe nothing but money.No matter why what kind of passport one is holding/the nationality they are is important especially in some urgent case.

So i go back to talk to the thai officers becasue i know talking with her again is useless and she won't care.The officer tell me to go the thai imigration department tomorrow morning.She believe that i can get help there.She give me all the information there and wish me luck about it.

Nothing can be done today.As i spend almost 9 hours there with the line up and the fuck up "responese" or "help" the chinese embassy offering.Grab something to eat around 8pm with JAne,a local thai that I know from the embassy.She did a great favour for me .Try to do some begging for me.Jane and the aussie woman are the best thing to see or meet in the embasssy today.Walk around with Sandy in the evening around Rachadmari Big C.She was riding a bike there after work.She try to llok for a helmet at the Big C supermarket

Get back to mui apartment at 10 pm.Just start worried again what will happen tomorrow morning.What if i can't catch the plan and what should i do ?

Suppose to be at work today but can't be there since none of the document was done.Except the anxiety over the identity problem.Everythings are more than fine to me .I enjoy the days and life style here.Things are natural and the mind is finally free.

Mui gotta start working again tomorrow.So we decided to stay indoor for more rest.Today is the day for tidy her room.Re-organize her CD tray,book shelf.Just find out that she is really into regggage music.Spent the whole day listen up the CD she got.

Packed all the stuff on my own as well.Preparing for tomorrow visit to embassy after the long holiday.Hope it won't bring more trouble.

For the coming two days.It is the weekend and the embassy is not gonna in service.Keep staying in Mui's apartment.She prepared all the daily stuff for me ever since all my stuff is gone.Is there a word that can describe a feeling that you are touched and millions of appreciation by what somoene do for you without hestitation and unconditionally.That words will be best described what i exactly feeling at the moment now.

Stay at the apartment until 4 pm.Decided to go for a walk to the nearby market for some food.Before that,we went to the weekend market at Jutajuk.First time to walk on the food section of the market.Just like the smell of the market.It is a small image about the whole city.Those smell and what you see there will not been forgotten and it will be soon be loved.The spicy and delicious scent are filled with the air in every corner together with the fruity and sweet smell from the roadside fruit vendering.The smell of different herb(ingredient of thai food)just spice up ones appertiz.It is a complex of smell from sweet to spicy.It is included.What catch the eyes are people with smile, the way they they humble themselve, the colour of the food, the way they look.It gotta be so impressive and remarkable.

Today is the public holiday in thailand.Mui offer me to stay at her apartment.She does a lot of calling to get all the hotline number including the embassy,airline etc.It's been lucky that i bought the ticket in a electronic form.So that they have my information in their system.Otherwise,i don't know how i can get the ticket without cash with me.

I am not too worried about the time i am there after i lost the bag.What i terribly worried is that how to call back my home to make a delay back work.As I predicted at the first place,they didn't concerned much about my situation or even ask anything about it.They just complained about why this why that.They even told that that's your own business and should not postpone to go back.Their tone is like i planned for this.That really make me frustrated the most

I just think i am lucky that i get the things lost in Thailand but not in home.Peoples are extremely helpful here.Even if someone cna't help .They simply ask someone to assist.It really make people feel good and less worried.

Didn't get to go anywhere today.Just stay at the apartment to watch the video "pretty woman" ,"noting Hills" and a couple of old movies.Except for the phone call back to home which make me angry and frustrated .Things are alright and good

Alarm ring at 7 am.Check out the guest house and leave the bag at the guest office.It is a very sunny day.Dry and hot weather.Not bad weather casue i am comfortable with dry weather,doesn't sweat much.Peoples on the street already wake up and start a new day already.

In order to visit most of the wat and historial heritage.It take three folds of the time just to walk and check them out all than by a bicycle.It is the first time i ride a bicycle for travelling.Most of the temples and all the old buildings are at the center of the city.There are too many section of the wat for me to remember the name to write down.The first one we visited is the Wat Phra Ram. Most of the old buildings are constructed by rectangular red bricks.The city itself is the ancient capital city.Lots of buddha are built by stone with different gesture.Most of them are sitting aroung the hall.Behind the hall.It is the tall old building that u can climb on the apex of it.There get chambers inside the building just like those in the Pyramid.Inside the chamber is a room that have some notice for introduce certain room and what it is for.

Buddha is either built with gold or stone.One of the most impress one is called the "Tree Buddha" which the buddha body is embedded in the roots of a tree.Kai want to visit temple and pray for family.There is a weight with a hook.She claim that if one can lift that up, the buddha will be blessing them with their wished .Unfournately,she can't lif that up.

Enjoy very much riding a bike on the boulevard.The road is rid and trees are arounded.It is about 5 pm but we can't finish all the places yet.Catch the last train back to BKK at 5:40 pm.It is a train run throughtout main city in Thailand.Also my first time to take a train from city to city.On the way back,meet three american aged around 30.They have been spending half years travelling Vietnam,India,Cambodia,Laos,Malaysia.Thailand is the last station.The train take less than 40 minutes before arrived the Hua Lamphong Station.

Meet mui again at Silom after checking in the hotel.Walk around the market for 2 hours.Worst thing start before we plan to leave.We were having a drink and all in sudden, one chinese man came close and sitting on my seat.With his hand holding a mobile phone.I feel a little bit strange about it,just keep on talking.Didn't notice that man leave with my bag gone after a few minutes.All my belongings are gone with all the photo i take in Ayutthaya,all the cash,document are all gone.Facing a huge identity crises without any document to prove myself.Can't believe they travel all the way to some place just to continue their "stealing business".Mui take me to the police and finish all the sttement at 2 a.m

Mui offer to help me and told that she will be there to take care until i am fine.Speachless to the unconditional help she been offering.Just feel tons of appreciation and touched from the bottom of the heart.

It was 9 am in the morning and appointment with Mui at the Siam Paragon for a short time meeting before going to Ayutthaya in the afternoon.Have a drink at the basement floor food court.The place is decorated with a cool enviroment like a water world.There is a ocean theme center at the most bottom in the basement with countless of sea animal from small creatures like sea horses,fish,shells to something big like shark and seal.From one center to another.There is a small tropical rain forest (TRF) section.Table in one section of the food court is decorated with rectangular tank for keeping fishes,so that people there can eat and talk at the same time seeing fishes.Kind of innovative i can say.Mui is a book lover so that we spend an hour in the Asia Book co.She is really into the over sized book about Egypt and India.

After that,head to Ramkaengpeng road Soi 33 to Kai's apartment for packing the stuff.First time to see her french roomate.Actually is a guy from Belgium.It takes an hour from Victory moment to Ayuttaya by a mini-van.Passengers on board are mostly thai and a couple of japanese.Some japanese are moved to Ayuttaya i guess is the reason they are art and history lover.

The city is little different with Bangkok.Right at the entrance to the city and i can see a big temple.A status of the city.One thing is the same is that there is many street store and people are the same nice and friendly.A very peaceful and harmoniously place and the living pace here is slower.It can easily see that people on the street get plenty of time talking to each other,laugh with their own small business in the shop.Everyone helping each other whenever they can.

There is some older taxi on the road.The local told that it is the Classic Tuk-Tuk,which is former one of the one that seen in BKK.It was a little bit late to visit the city casue most of the temple are closed at 6 pm.The sunset together with the shadow with the old brick-red building of the city.Kai told that it is the first time she ever visit Ayutthaya cause thailand is too large.She told she miss the hometown and family there as well since she didn't go back home for a long time.Just get to know about home and family by the phone call daily.She mention that her hometown are peaceful like this with pretty scenery as well.

We plan to rest early to wait for an early visit to the city in the next day.Hope it will be Sunny as today

It was 0:35 am when i touch down bkk,the emirates operate a late flight to the city as usual.Like to on board at night to avoid those chinese,as less as it could be will be more than fine i alwasy believe.The plane is loaded mostly with caucasian, thai and arabian which heading to Dubai which that BKK is the stop for an hour flight to there.

The airport is not a so-called "standard modern" building but i find it kind of unique.They have their own style apart from those standarize one in some stupid place which they try hard wannabe "modern and fancy" one.Some old store are allowed to be in the airport.The place for currency exchange shop with the store built with some wood on the exterior.All signs is written both in english and thai alphabets which is very good.Sometimes i think some words appear in someplace won't match with a place.Just like chinese word.Maybe it is good as a word for tattoo but definetly not to show as public signs.It don't match with a place at all,alter the mood sometimes.just heard that the airport will not be in service in the near future.Just sincerely the new one will be built with its own character.

There are so many things I'm seeing here that can't be captured with a camera. All the sights, sounds, and even smells, I don't know how to relate them to anyone who hasn't seen them firsthand. To try and do so would be an injustice to their beautfy and uniqueness.I hope these things will last for so long that noone can alter the way it is!

Mint offer the apartment for me to take few hours rest before she get to work on next morning.One of the reason i like here the most is becasue the people are almost the same behaviour even the rich one ,poor one ,male,female,old one,young one.I guess this is what i alwasy say "the soil of a country" .It make people enjoy being there again and again.Sometime u go a place you are attracted by only the mall and theme park that they built jsut to attract tourist.I think this is the shallow level casue this "good feeling" is just temporary joy.Some place like here or europe,latin america,japan.Once you get chances being there and soaked oneself in the city ,culture,history.You will feel good even no "obvious" stuff is built to attract.You will truely impressed and feel being blessed just get a chance to be there and see it.Even the small thing will make you enjoy the most.God bless to a place like those.

Mint's apartment is 10 minutes from airport.Her roomate is back to hometown for visit family.Wake up at 6 am after a few hours nap.She get a call from work that she has to be standby for working in Pakistian

Arrive downtown for guesthouse.Nana is a place that i stay in for the very first time.Lots of 2-3 story height motel,dining place,some pub for drink,music place,little market.A good place to stay actually

Have pizza for dinner with Sandy,together with her 12 year old sister that come to visit her from hometown for holidays.Just to see they talk to each other i can feel they are so close with each other jsut like the people here are close together.Well connected.A peaceful place supposed to look like this i believe.The pizza place is at the CP tower of silom road.After that we get to go the night bazzar,the first time for both of them to go as they say.One thing good to a market open at night is that the cool wind come chill you down while you walk around.The market sell most handmade stuff from what you can wear from head to toes,hat,bracelet,shoes,earring etc.In the center is concentrated with coffee place,open area palce for beer and music,local thai street store is also there without a doubt.The area are surround with some plam tree.Very relaxing place ican say.The store also include some wall- hanged poster,oil painting.Mostly the portrait,picture of buddha,country scenery from Hua Hin,Chiang Mai and some gorgeorus island.
