Thailand - Phuket
Plus/Minus this date : 21 June 1994.
Think I was there for about 5 days.
I spent 1 hour everyday at the sea playing Jet Ski.
It was wonderful but expensive. I was still a student.
Almost all the momey I brought there was spent on this.
Aha..but it was worth it.
Not to mention I drank a LOT of seawater too.
Due to constant falling off the Jet Ski.
Additional reward is a bad sunburn because I did not bring any suntan lotion.
But it was really fun.
Did one time on parachuting.
It's not those sky diving type.
Rather safe, I would say.
You can see from the photo that there's some many ropes connecting to me !!
I was quite embarrassed as there were so many people setting up the parachute.
People at the beach were looking.
And I didn't know what to do, I just stood there like a log.
When all was done…
The parachute flew when the yatch power up and speed off.
Actually, one of the men did followed me up the sky.
He simply just hook up and sat on the ropes behind me.
He'll helped me to do the landing because I don't know how to land.
I was like …. Wah !!! Seems so easy to them.
It's an experience I won't forget.

Hi Astro,
I have aunt who lives in Bangkok and not long ago she also travel to Phuket. I never go to Thailand before, but my brother did couple times ;)
Hello,
Bangkok is nice place to visit and lots of good food. Everytime I visit Thailand, I went back home with extra pounds. But I can't help it... all looks good!!! The only drawback is the traffic if you travel by car/taxi. Using their public transport train will be fast and more convient. Overall, I love visiting Thailand.
