Mail from Suzanna

I've got a mail from Suzanna, she is a sweet american girl who was stay with us for a week. In the mail she thanks me for send her photos that I took when she was in Bangkok.

Suzanna came to stay at the hotel with her boyfriend Noah for 2 nights on 7-8 of April, then they went to Krabi for Songkran and back to stay with us again.

Noah is a photographer and Suzanna is just finished her university in photographing. I love to take a photo as well, so we talk a lot about photographing.

After 2 days back from Krabi, Noah was left to Newyork first, Suzanna still with us for 3 more days, so when I had a day off, I took her to the coffeeshop located by the Choapraya river and have a view of Wat Arun (The temple of dawn), then we walked to the flower market which she was really exited and took a lot of photos.

We walk through the flower market and wanted to go to China Town but we've lost, I couldn't find the way to China Town because last time I went there is 3 years ago, I apologised to Suzanna, but what she said was made me very please, she said "You don't have to be sorry, we're hanging out, you're not my guide, we can find it together."

I asked the people who walked pass and they were really please to help us, then we could got to China Town and had Pad Thai for our dinner and had chinese herb dessert before came back to the hotel.

Our time together was very good, we talk a lot and we have many ideal in common such as political and environmental.

The day before Suzanna left us, she took photos of our staffs.

Now she is busying with moving from Seattle to find a job in NY and live near Noah. I wish her to find a good job soon :)

William and Chantel are a newlywed from England. They are very sweet couple, their face can tell that they are so happy.

The day I met them is the day they were leaving PN and Thailand, I saw his Thai language tattoo on William's arm, so I asked about it...

His tattoo is "The journey of our life, 08/04/2009 Thailand", the 08/04/2009 is the day he and Chantel got married.

William told me that they just got married on the island in Krabi, and went to honeymoon at Koh Lanta and other island in Krabi, then came to stay at PN for 2 nights and went shopping in Bangkok.

I gived him my email and asked them to send me the wedding photos, William said he will send me the photo, but I haven't get it yet, so William if you've read this I'm waiting to see the photos :)

Pink Taxi

I wrote this on Apr 7, '09

Yesterday evening, when I was sewing a sarong, I saw Lar one of my colleague ran after a guest, she asked me to run with her to find the taxi coz the guest was left her bag in the taxi. I ran over Lar and get to the main road, we saw a lot of taxi but we don't know which one, all we know is it's a pink taxi.

We came back to the hotel, Lar called the police, I called Ruam Dauy Shauy Gun, and Tukta another staff call FM100, I asked the guest, what's in the bag and her husband told me that it got cash around 10-20 thousand Baht with a camera, a mobile phone and her passport. Her husband tried to call to her mobile but no one pick up.

We wait for about 15 minute and we hadn't heard anything from the radio or police so Tukta took them to the police station at Khoa Sarn Road. Half an hour after that they came back and went up to their room.

We've heard nothing from anywhere.

I'm living my slow life

I wrote this on Apr 2, '09

I've been working at Phranakorn Nornlen for 2 days now. I'm learning the job at Front House, how to do paper work, explain to our guest about our service in the hotel, suggest the guest where and how to go for sightseeing in Bangkok.

But in this morning, Khun Donald let me helped in Food & Beverage to serve breakfast for guests. This job reminded me of waiting job in Melbourne and I enjoyed it than Front House job coz I don't like paper work, although I have to know how to do it, If I need to run my own small hotel in the future.

Today while I was working, all I heard is the beautiful song from the CD player, it was quiet like I stayed in the country side. The theme of this lovely hotel is "Slow Life", the atmosphere is like that, a peaceful place in a crazy city, when you walk out the gate you will see many people with their busy life but when you get into this hotel, your life is slower and easier than ever.

I'm living my slow and lovely life.
