Elephant Ride – Ubon Ratchathani, Thailand

August 19, 2008
August 06, 2006. – We went up Ubon Ratchathani, Thailand to visit friends. They took us to the other town (which I forgot the name) and we went to the elephant camp. I was 6 months pregnant with my girl then and they said it was okay to get on the elephant while pregnant.

Our friends’ kids with our boy, feeding the baby elephant

we took a pose with elephants in the background. i was sooo pregnant.

brave enough to get up there. but i only lasted for five minutes. i mean 5 steps. after that, i asked the elephant rider whether he could take me and my boy down.

neil and schenker spending quality time together. schenker calls him Koko Neil. he really liked Koko Neil.

We were able to go to the Cambodia border too to buy souvenirs. They were sooo cheap. I couldn’t believe my ears everytime they told me the price. Bought a lot of souvenirs then. But I wasn’t able to give them to friends. They’re all in a box now. Have to dig them up and sell them on ebay. LOL!

Seafood in Subang

August 17, 2008
After my husband came back from his trip to Phuket, he surprised me to a seafood. We drove to Subang airport and went to South Sea Food Restaurant. I know that Klang has the most affordable seafood (and good, too), but we didn’t wanna drive all the way there. Subang Airport is just nearby and their seafood is really to die for. We ordered:

steamed fish (fresh from the aquarium)
fried kangkong belacan (pronounced belachan)

we ordered 2 huge sri lankan crab (black pepper crab)

and fried squid

all for 150RM. so if you’re around Subang and you’re looking for the best seafood, drive to Subang Airport and look for South Sea Food Restaurant. They’re the best. I love the service too. Waiters are very prompt and they’re dressed properly.
