Yet another amazing group outing in Thailand was our overnight tour to Khao Yai. This tour was undoubetly the best tour for us in this country. It was also not a package tour and also all the catering services were taken care by all of us only. It was a two-day adventurous tour which started on the saturday morning and we were back our hotel well in time on sunday evening.

It was September the 29th of 2007, a very beautiful morning just like any other dawn this green capital of the kingdom of Thailand. We were all 12 in number and all set to leave before we could get up on any other weekend day. It was a Saturday and we made sure that we could get an extra rest day after this trip full of activities. Enjoying our road travel of two and half hours - nicely utilized with singing, dancing, boozing and eating - we made sure that not a single moment was left unturned. We took couple of breaks on the way and grabbed cup of coffees 'n cans of beers and announced our presence at the resort (which we booked) by 11.

...

We finally bid goodbye to Khao Yai at 5 O'clock. While coming back we had a blast of dance inside the van. We also stopped on the way for coffee break and reached Oakwood before 8 O'clock.

Any feedback folks?

Tour de Hua Hin pics









Tour to Hua Hin beaches was wonderful and shall be in our memories for a long long time to come. It was special in many ways. It was the first team outing for all the India-IBMers here in Bangkok. Secondly we didn't book any package tour and it was completely self planned and with self catering and camping services. It was a one day fun-filled tightly stuffed tour which started as early as 7 O'clock in the morning and we were back to bed at Oakwood well before the clock joined the arms at the midnight.

It was July the 28th of 2007, a very beautiful morning just like any other dawn this green capital of the kingdom of Thailand. We were all 12 in number and all set to leave before we could get up on any other weekend day. It was a Saturday and we made sure that we could get an extra rest day after this trip full of activities.

Enjoying our road travel of two and half hours - nicely utilized with singing, dancing, boozing and eating - we made sure that not a single moment was left unturned. We took couple of breaks on the way and grabbed cup of coffees 'n cans of beers and announced our presence on the beaches of Hua Hin before our watches told 11.

There was a scream of sheer joy when everybody got the glimpses of the sea from inside the van. Jumping out of the cab and getting our feets wet was the priority at that moment. Oshin was with her bag 'n baggage which included her beach gear having all sort of spades, buckets, and the whole lot of equipment to build the sand-castle. We spent nearly an hour before we left to search for a shelter to start our Bar-b-que.

We drove to a nearby place which was also on the beach, in fact more beautiful and lonely then the earlier one, was perfect choice for all of us to setup our bar-b-que and start preparation for the group-feast. It was great fun to work collectively for the preparation of this lunch along with lite humourous conversation. We also took a quick strawl at the beach in while our peers were buzy preparing meals for us. Few other didn't missed the chance to grabb couple of beer, encashing these intoxicating moments completely.

After the meals were over and we were also little exhausted, we planned to drive little further and do some more photography. After sitting on stones wetting our feets in a group at the beach for a while, chatting, singing, shooting, we finally bid goodbye to Hua Hin at 5 O'clock.

While coming back we made a halt at Sofitel on the way and enjoyed cup of coffee after having a strawl on the wife soft sand inside. Now finally it was time to make a move for Bangkok as it was already 8. After this hardly anything happened before we were informed that we've reached our beloved hotel-Oakwood. We had lot of leftover food which was regarded as dinner that evening at our suite and before we could wish good nigh to each other it was a new day and 2 AM in the morning.

Now what you say folks? Wasn't it fantastic?
