A Forgotten Bangkok Biz Trip Post

I was wondering what I was going to write about this month.  And when I looked through my photo library I noticed that I hadn't mentioned anything about my September 2017 business trip to Bangkok.  My mind was very much occupied with so many other things back then...

On that trip I actually visited the sunflower garden in Changi airport's Terminal 2 and took a few snaps before departing for Bangkok.  It was a Sunday if I remember correctly.

The Last Bangkok Biz Trip 2017 - ลาก่อนกรุงเทพฯ

Two days after I returned home from the Tokyo biz trip I went off to Bangkok for a final Country Super User Training.  This time there were 50 users from 17 countries to train.  Same venue at Pullman G in Silom.  I was really excited because after this there will be no more training, no more creating exercises, no more data preparation (especially of such a large scale).  October was crazy... I spent 16 days abroad just for work.. This time I went light with just the RX100 Mk3.

Bangkok Biz Trip 2017 - Part 2

The 2nd part of the entry will be about my visit to Wat Pho which is about 40 minutes away from Pullman G.

Wat Pho is a sprawling temple complex.  This temple is where the Reclining Buddha is located.  There's an entrance fee of 100 Baht which includes a free bottle of drinking water.  There's also a guided tour option which I strongly recommend if you're visiting Wat Pho for the first time.  

I spent a good 90 minutes or so in Wat Pho just going around, taking photos, admiring the stupas and Buddhist statues.

Bangkok Biz Trip 2017 - Part 1

For the next phase of the project, I had to travel to Bangkok.  This time it was an 8 days trip including another weekend stay.  But at least I'm very familiar with Bangkok so I didn't find it as boring as it was in Ho Chi Minh.

This time my gears are my back-up Fujifilm X-A10 + XF14mm F2.8R WR.

The trip started with the usual shot of the plane I'd be flying in.
