~SimPle as LiFe caN bE~

Life is interesting in its' own way, i may say.

It has been more than 10 days now that I have been in Phang Nga again.
Now at this moment, I am heading back to Bangkok.
First thing here, i guess the Big G must love me so much to challenge me like this.
Last time my flight got very super delayed which caused me to cancel one meeting.
Now my flight got cancelled. Still luckily to get transferred to the better one from Cheap air flight to Thai airway ha ha. HE must really loves me very much.

How different can i put the feeling in Phang Nga this time and the last time?
Last time it's filled of energetic and incredible information that I have got.
As it's the first time so i guess it's normal.
This time before it starts, I did feel very much excited as it's still the first time for V-STAY that really rolling. It's also mean that it actually does happen!! It is !! WOW!!!

Truly believe with "Life is like a box of chocolate, you never know what you gonna get"
The plan that we thought it would be perfect, doesn't seem to implacable as we hope.
Cant' believe within a month, things have changed a lot. And when i said a LOT i do mean "A LOT!!"
As what my teammate said, it's changed in the better way which is very good for the people here in Phang-Nga. ha ha as usual changes do create the impact for everyone.

I guess my feeling still so much fresh and excited with V-STAY project.

Again life is too short to know only few people. In this trip i can say i have met quite an interesting people.
To know better of the old faces and get to know a few of cool new faces.
I have met a guy who i shared a quite cool conversation with.

Not to forget of how beautiful the sky is here.
If i could capture the moment into the film and show it with you all, i would.
The feeling is indescribable. Never in my life can see this beautiful black painting where there are hundred of diamonds trying their best to compete its' beauty.
Live the moment and that's what a life!!
I know that many of people would have been envy me for that moment.
Just can't help to think that it would have been just perfect as i could be in the arm of the love one, instead of behind the pick-up truck. (-_-")

Life here can be that simple. And to follow that I actually lived such a simple life.
To compare with the hectic life in bangkok, life here is so simple and just go with the flow.
Just like that... You have plenty of time to enjoy each day. The beauty of nature, the wonderful people and never-ending incredible experiences in each day.
'ya..Life can be that simple. I keep on telling myself. Life doesnt' have to always be busy, rush and selfish. It just likes that.

Here, simple as it is with simple but incredible bunch of people.
Another side of life that i never experienced before.
Unbelievable to find peace at heart. It's just like that. No worries, no complex, no conflict, no argument.

Just smile and do what you think you can do best. Just like that.
Cant' believe that it can be that easy.
Feel super cool, super, super cool.

Just easy like that.
Who said life is so complicated and complex anyway, come, just come and
join with us here in Phang Nga.
Here where you can find peace at heart.

Love you more and more..

~ProuD tO B Thai~

Interesting articles I read yesterday. I have been told by the youngsters of Thai and Non-thai through one campaign that rises by International group, Dublin (How ironic is that? I asked myself), about this land, my home country. After read this, my heart is filled with gold pure feeling. This is how much I can say …
I love this land so much.

...What matters is that we are all capable of it, regardless of gender, nationality, religion or political belief. A SMILE might not go ever far in stopping bullet, or bringing money into a desperately poor country, but it is a start. We can all do our part, no matter how infinitesimally insignificant if may seem compared to other events. Being the Land of Smiles, we have an obligation to set an example to the rest of the world. If smiles really are infectious, then we might as well start an epidemic...

...The modern Thailand has a long way to go before becoming my dream Thailand, but I am still proud of my home country as it is. Though this country’s scenic beauty is well known throughout the world, it is the people of Thailand that I feel proud of. Thais, for the most part are friendly and helpful. The word nam jai describes the courtesy, politeness, and charismatic warmth of the Thai people...

...Thailand is a very strong nation, with fierce pride due to its great history. Many have fought and died to secure the freedom of Thailand, the Land of the Free. A folk tale tells of a time when Thailand was under the control of Burma. A Thai man challenged a Burmese man to a contest: If the Thai man could stay under water longer, then Thais could regain control of their own country. While under water the Thai man tied a rock to his feet so that he had no way of coming up, sacrificing his life for the freedom of the people. The story shows how valuable freedom is to Thailand, yet even today many people live oppressed within its borders.

HRH Princess Maha Chakri Sirindhorn said
...Development is not only measured by economic growth. Development also means good public health, appropriate education, wise use of natural resources, conservation of the environment and culture, equitable income distribution, job opportunities, and the freedom to choose one’s own way of living… every citizen must cooperate and participate in both preventing and solving these problems before they become even more severe...The Kingdom of Thailand has stood strong in the face of many wars, diseases and changes for hundreds of years, and its people will continue to stand, side by side to face future problems...

...Thai culture is evident everywhere you go, whether you are standing in a rural village in the middle of nowhere or going up an elevator in the middle of a fast-paced modern city. The colors and patterns of our country surround us everywhere. That is because our culture is so alive and such a part of us. From the simple WAI to a complex Thai wedding ceremony, Thai culture and tradition is intertwined in the fabric of our everyday lives. All nations must be given a chance to become the best they can be; they must make use of all their resources and unique cultures. It is important to remember that culture must be maintained throughout and within development. One can’t be without the other...
