Pad Thai (Thai Style Noodle Stir-Fry)

Prepare:
14 big shrimps (peeled, de-veined and cooked)
2 handful thin noodle
3/4 cup cut yellow tofu
3 tbsp. good quality dried shrimp
1/4 cup salted radish (minced)
1/4 cup vegetable oil
1/2 tsp. vinegar
1 tbsp. water
1/4 cup a garlic-like vegetable of the genus Allium (cut 1 inch)
2 duck's eggs
1 cup bean sprouts
1 tbsp. sliced red onion
1 tbsp. minced garlic
1 tsp. dried red chili powder
2 tbsp. roasted peanut (crushed)
1 tsp. sugar
Pad Thai Sauce:
1/2 cup vegetable oil
3 tbsp. minced red onion
3 tbsp. minced garlic
1/2 cup palm sugar
1/3 cup good quality fish sauce
1/2 cup concentrated tamarind juice

Cooking Instructions:
1. Heat the pan and add vegetable oil. When the pan is hot, add 3 tbsp. minced red onion and 3 tbsp. minced garlic. Fry until it turns gold. Be careful, it will be bitter if you put max heat and burn it.

2. Add palm sugar, fish sauce, concentrated tamarind juice. Boil until it gets thick.

3. Remove from the stove.Next, we will cook the noodle.

1. In a different pan, heat the pan and add vegetable oil. When the pan is hot, add red 1 tbsp. sliced onion and garlic. Fry until it has aromatic smell.

2. Add tofu, salted radish and dried shrimps.

3. Now, add noodle and water. Mix well then add vinegar.

4. Pour pad Thai sauce we prepare from before. Add as much as you like. Make sure you don't add too much because the noodle will be too wet and overcook.

5. Then, make a quick stir. If you like bean sprouts and the genus Allium to be cooked, add it in this step.

6. Turn off the fire. Arrange the noodle on a plate. Put dried chili pepper, sugar, roasted peanut, fresh bean sprouts and the genus Allium on a side.

Oy!!!! I forgot to add shrimps!!

You can put them after any step above, because it was already cooked. I'll put them like a pyramid on top of my Pad Thai. Another option for Pad Thai, make an omelet from duck's eggs. Make it as thin and as big as possible. Put the noodle in the middle of the omelet. Fold four sides then put another plate on top. Turn it upside down. Decorate it with bean sprouts, the genus Allium or scallion, dried chili powder, sugar, peanut, and one piece of lemon.

Iphone

iphone from Apple are available in MBK center and retail shop in Central world. But the price are so much different for 8 GB iphone. In MBK 18,500 -24,500 Bath and 29,500 Bath in official retail shop.

Music on iphone
iPhone the best iPod that Apple has ever made. I agree, unless you want to carry a music library larger than either the 4- or 8-gigabyte iPhone can hold (800 and 1,800 songs or so, respectively, depending on the other content on the device). There's no memory slot for adding storage.

Much as I like the famous scroll wheel on regular iPods, you won't miss it here. (There's not even a virtual version.) Tapping various icons to access iPod playlists, artists, songs, albums, audiobooks, podcasts and so on is a breeze. Album art looks terrific on the big display.

Internet on iphone
IPhone runs Apple's Safari browser. You can view full Web pages, then double-tap the screen to zoom in. Or pinch to make text larger. Sliding your finger moves the page around. Rotating iPhone lets you view a page widescreen. IPhone syncs bookmarks off a PC or Mac.

VDO and Youtube on iphone
You can watch movies, music videos, podcasts and TV shows synced through iTunes. When watching, tap once to bring up onscreen controls and double-tap to toggle between widescreen and full-screen modes. Movies and videos play in landscape mode. For now, no other iPod does widescreen.

IPhone provides a wireless connection to YouTube. You can watch the most-viewed streaming videos and search for others. More than 10,000 videos will be available at launch; YouTube expects to encode the full catalog into a format iPhone can recognize by fall. You can easily share YouTube links by e-mail.

Picture on iphone
Pictures look fabulous on iPhone. The device syncs images stored on iPhoto software on the Mac or a designated picture folder on a Windows PC.

iphone battery
Apple recently raised iPhone battery estimates to up to eight hours of talk time, six hours of Internet use, seven hours of video playback, 24 hours of audio playback and more than 10 days of standby. Your actual mileage will vary, of course.

Long Live The King

His Majesty King Bhumibol Adulyadejthe Great was born on December 5, 1927 to Prince Mahidol of Songkhla andMom Sangwan. His Majesty is the ninth King of the Chakri Dynasty and thelongest-reigning monarch in the history of Thailand.

HisMajesty the King is well recognised as the heart and soul of the Thai nation.He is held in high esteem not only by his own subjects, but His Majestyalso commands enormous respect from people in all parts of the world.

Everywhere he goes, people turnup to greet him in hundreds of thousands. The manner in which His Majestyconducts himself, giving his whole heart and attention to the people, immediatelylinked the living symbol of the nation to the people in a bond of mutualunderstanding and personal affection.

The main concern of His Majestyis for the uplifting of the general well-being of the people. Evidenceof this can be drawn from His Majesty the King’s ceaseless efforts to visithis subjects in the rural areas. The aim of His Majesty’s visits is tolearn at first hand about the needs of his subjects.

To obtain such information, HisMajesty has to travel many thousands of kilometres throughout the kingdomand, whenever possible, suggests ways to overcome the difficulties. Thesevisits have led to the establishment of over 1,000 Royal and Royally-initiatedprojects. They are implemented by the relevant agencies of the governmentafter having been given advice and assistance by His Majesty.

His Majesty is the first memberof the Royal Family to be granted a patent for an invention. The registeredpatent is for one of His Majesty’s “Chai Pattana Machines”- the Chai PattanaAerator Model RX 2. The patent rights calf it an “apparatus for water treatment”,which is used for agricultural and industrial purposes and can be seenoperating in many polluted waterways.

Buddhism is the national religionof Thailand and His Majesty constantly shows himself to be a convincedand dedicated disciple of the Lord Buddha. To follow the tradition of youngBuddhist men to go into the monastery for a period of time, His Majestyentered the Buddhist monkhood at Wat Bovornnives on 22 October 1956.
TheConstitution of Thailand, however, does not prescribe the King to be onlythe Defender of the Buddhist Faith, but also to be the upholder of allReligions. He gives equal attention to the protection of all forms of worshipand also to the problems of other religious communities in ThailandHisMajesty King Bhumibol Adulyadej the Great came to the throne on June 9,1946. The meaning of his name is “Strength of the Land, incomparable Power”.Since that date he has reigned over the Kingdom of Thailand as a constitutionalmonarch. At the Coronation Ceremony on May 5, 1950, His Majesty the Kingpronounced the traditional Oath of Accession which stated:

“We will reign with righteousnessfor the benefit and happiness of the Siamese people”. His Majesty’sactions since then have thoroughly reflected those words and have alwaysbeen directed towards increasing the welfare and prosperity of theThai nation.

On his birthday, which is observedas a National Holiday, all his subjects rejoice in demonstratingonce more their affection and loyalty to him. Religious rites are held,houses and buildings are decorated with flags, lights and his portraits.

The whole nation prays to the Holy Triple Gem and all the sacred thingsin the universe to bless His Majesty with good health and happiness andthe strength to carry on his onerous task.

Long Live the king...

Suvarnabhumi Airport, Bangkok

Landing to Suvarnabhumi Airport, Bangkok in the evening and this is the most biggest in Southeast Asia. Named 'Suvarnabhumi' (meaning 'Golden Land') by His Majesty King Bhumibol Adulyadej of Thailand, the development of Suvarnabhumi Airport as the aviation hub of the region is of strategic importance to Thailand's future and is a priority on the 'national agenda'.

The official opening of Suvarnabhumi Airport, Bangkok's new international airport, on 28 September 2006, gives new impetus to the country's quest to make Bangkok and Thailand the aviation hub of the region.

During the initial phase of operation, the north section of the airport will accommodate 45 million passengers per year, 76 flights per hour and 3 million tons of cargo handling per year. After the final phase, this will rise to 100 million passengers a year.

At 563,000 square metres, the passenger terminal is currently the largest in the world. The airport also features the world's longest runway, 75.3 metres by 4,000 metres long and the world's tallest control tower, 132.2 metres high, providing the best visual coverage of overall airside.

To facilitate smooth air traffic control, the air traffic control centre is fully equipped with state-of-the-art aircraft navigation and guiding systems and is one of the most advanced facilities in modern aviation. It has the capacity to manage approximately 76 flights per hour.

When in full operation, the airport will help boost Thailand's economic, social, communication, and tourism development, and advance the government policy of making Thailand an aviation hub in Southeast Asia.

Suvarnabhumi Airport is located at Km. 15 (15th kilometre milestone) on the east-bound Bangna-Trat Highway in Bang Phli district, Samut Prakan province, east of Bangkok. The airport is approximately 25 kms from the Bangkok metropolis.

As of 28 September 2006, Suvarnabhumi Airport replaces Don Muang airport as Bangkok's primary airport for all commercial airline flights.

Suvarnabhumi Airport is operated by The Airports of Thailand Public Company Limited (AOT). In addition to the new Bangkok international airport, AOT operates four other international airports in Thailand – Chiang Mai, Hat Yai, Phuket and Chiang Rai.

Bangkok Airways

I have using often for Bangkok Airways service and here are some background for Bangkok Airways company.

Background
Bangkok Airways first began air transportation services in 1968—established as “Sahakol Air”, it became the first private aviation company in Thailand. Initially, the airline provided charter services by means of its first operational aircraft, “Trade Wind”, a two-engine 9-seater plane. Regular charter assignments came from the OICC (an American construction company), USOM, and a number of other organizations, which at the time, were engaging in oil and natural gas exploration in the Gulf of Thailand.




Due to the rapid growth of tourism and business investments in Thailand, air transportation has become an increasingly important aspect contributing to both the Kingdom’s economic growth and its infrastructure development into becoming a major destination capable of hosting several million overseas visitors per year.




In order to fulfill the increasing demands for air transportation, Bangkok Airways officially began its operations in 1986 as the country’s first privately-owned domestic airline; initially offering scheduled flights from Bangkok to Krabi, Korat, and Surin. Presently, Bangkok Airways has obtained permits to operate scheduled flights in 20 different major routes—covering nearly all major resort destinations in Thailand. Additionally, the airline has also obtained permits to fly internationally to Myanmar, Laos, Cambodia, Vietnam, Malaysia, Singapore, China, and Japan.

Bangkok Airways has also invested in building and maintaining its own privately-operated airports at Samui, Sukhothai, and Trat. These developments

Business Trip to Samui Island

Last Saturday I went to Samui Island for my business trip as usual, Samui island is Thailand's third largest island, and its neighbour Ko Pha-ngan a celebrated island that hosts the biggest beach full moon party. North of Ko Pha-ngan is Ko Tao, renowned for its excellent coral reefs.
To top it all is the dazzling 250-square-kilometer Ang Thong Marine National Park, where a stunning archipelago awaits to greet visitors with their charming palm-fringed beaches, crystal clear water and colorful coral reefs. The best time to enjoy one of these islands to the fullest is from April to November.

You can go to Samui by Bangkok Airways daily flights (One day more than 6 flights and in high season over 10 flights per day) or by ferry from Surathani to Samui island but it's take time, if you have time enough using ferry that also one choice for view Samui from sea.

After landing from Samui airport, driver from resort was waiting me as the gate of airport and bring my bag to the car and out from airport. The wather was not bad like last week, may be today is loy Krathong day :P from airport to resort take 45 miniute by car and here is my palace..yeah..

Doing and check some paper work after that call to restaurant for order some food for my lunch "Pard Ka pao Kung" haha :P don't know what should I order better order no brain menu :P but it's also yummyyyyy... Now I am full so take a walk to the beach... some tourist reading a book, some are swimming sound look they are very relax for holiday..that cool...

In our Shan state we don't have the ocean, only around us are blue montains like in here blue sea around me for now...I may lucky from one of million from Shan state who can play sea water as much I can but I wish all of my nation brother and sister to be here like a free birds do what every their need without fear...Hope some day can be happen..T__T ..Back to my room and meeting with staff, meeting with supplier, meeting with GM until evening..huh..I hate meeting ...call to Big boss (Mum) Mum said Mum will out to temple. In Shan today is special day for us as well, we will have fire work show, fire ball and many things for fun..when I was kid I like it very much..wishing I am in there with Mum.. Oh..some staff call me for Loy Krathong..

A festival of quiet celebration, the origins of Loy Kratong are unclear, but it is believed that it started in Sukhothai, (north of Bangkok) one of the most powerful cities in Asia, around 800 years ago.
Made from the cellulose trunk of a banana tree, the idea behind the kratongs is to put all your misfortunes in a boat, and allow them to literally float away. ("Loy"- to float, and "krathong" - a leaf cup or bowl) Great care is taken to decorate the kratongs with flowers and banana leaves, leaving room for the candles and 3 sticks of incense. Loy Krathong always falls on Thai school holidays, so during the day the whole family are often involved in making elaborately decorated Kratongs. Some coins, a lock of hair, or nail clipping are placed inside to represent the owner before the kratong is launched on a river, canal, or the sea, accompanied by a prayer.

It's believed the "boat" will carry your bad luck into the distance, and enable a better start to the following year. Loy Kratong is a big night for lovers. Couples who make a wish together on this day will enjoy long-lasting love, especially if their kratongs remain together on the water.

While Loy Kratong is not strictly a religious festival, some Thais believe that it pays homage to the water goddess, Mae Khongkha. Whatever the significance, it's a magical "not-to-be-missed" event.
