Day 3 was spent at nong noch village. where we were all tired after the pattaya escapade. where we played the parachutes... the jet ski.. and surrounded by lotsa korean aunties and uncles. and kids. and super sweet mangoes. yeah man. so back to the nongnoch village. we watched the thai cultural show. elephant show. sat on elephants.. and was cuddled by a young elephant and its mama. haha. super duper sweet. the tourleader even said, he has nv seen a young elephant being so close to ppl. he said, i'm in good luck. hopefully ba!

the cultural show was a little boring.. luckily i had the corneto to save me from falling asleep.

i cant remember the sequence.. but we went to watch this Alcazar Caberat show aka ah gua show. all males. they look really gorgeous. but then when you hear their voice, you wouldnt want to step a step closer to them.

then another day... we returned to bangkok and head to dreamworld. its just a you le yuan.

very nice decor. with lotsa flowers. lotsa schkids wearing shirts in the colour of their taxiz-- purple, bright pink, blue, red.... very vibrant!

so now, i'm looking forward to the shanghai trip. though there will be tutorials everynight... but i think it would be another memorable trip!!!
