Thailand Trip Part 2 - Koh Phangan

Hi guys, welcome back to my part two of the Thailand trip. This is where we takes the overnight train from Bangkok to the south, and there we will take a boat to the Khao Sok National Park. That was where my favorite part of the trip happened. 








An overnight train with bunks and only fan, it really was a experience to have. Its an experience to have once and never do it again. The climate on the train was hot and humid like all Thailand, except now you have loud train track in the background. Sleep did not happen over night.








We at the a small town next to the Khao Sok National Park at 6 am local time, we were all tired and exhausted from the great train ride across the country. We had a small breakfast at this little cafe before we got onto a boat to our floating bungalows.




I thought the rocks remind me of the MAC default background. 



Before we arrive to our floating bungalows, we also took a dip at the lake. Apparently the lake is around 40 m deep.


After a short boat ride, we arrived at our floating bungalows. It was beautiful, it was as if we were the only human being floating on this lake. We surrounded by mountains and hills, and literally surrounded by the waters. 















We spent the day swimming and kayaking around the lake, waters were calm and the views were amazing. When you are in the middle of the lake surrounded by mountains and water, you really become a part of the nature.




The next morning we took an morning boat back onto the shore, and onward to Koh Phangan on a ferry. 




Waking up in an hour later, we were picked up by their 'Taxi" and driven to SARANA bungalows.







During the night, we went to the nearby beach bar and had a great fire show.






The next day we on a boat ride around the island.









On the last day of the tour, we were organized to go to elephant enclosure. We were also given the chance to get on an elephant and get splashed.






And that night, we had last night together as a tour group.


We shared our dinner and lit on some candle kites and see them off into the sea, and here was the end of another journey, and the start into our diving course in a nearby island called Koh Tao; and our last leg into the Thailand trip back in Bangkok.

X-Carve - My First CNC Experience

Image
Hi everyone, my CNC has finally arrived couple weeks ago. I pre-ordered it about a month or two ago, it took ages to get to me. From my knowledge, INVENTIBLES packs them individually and customizes it for every customer as you can get upgrades for your CNC from day one. I got some of the upgrades that were recommended by the forum, like ACME lead Z-axis rod and drag chains. I get it with my own money, so cost effectiveness was the key.  All components were neatly packed with bubble wrap. The whole package came in one piece. They were all individually wrapped for every step, so you only needed to open a box for the specific step.  The online manual was very helpful. They have video instructions for every step. I would watch the tutorial and then read the written manual for conformation.  The first step was to build the X- carriage. As the first thing to build, it was quite intimidating but soon enough I got the hang of using the eccentric n...

Hi everyone, welcome to my blog. This time will be a visit to the twice a year Local Camera Market, but this is actually my every first time there as well. Do you guys have local second hand markets like this? Let me know if you do. Post a comment or message me. So, the local market is at the Box Hill Town Hall, in Melbourne. I was really excited to see what bargains I could find or just to see what antiques I could see. There was a lot of cameras, cameras that I have never even heard of. Most of them are older than me, probably four times as old as me. The venue was packed with photographers, sellers and enthusiast that are so passionate about photography. Many of them have a huge collection of cameras that they have collected all their lives. When you looked at the camera, you could see how much they had been through. I also heard from one of the sellers, that they got one of their cameras from police auctions. It was once the camera of a prince in some country, b...
