A7 SPA Academy.

On 25 September, Although I still have one pending job, I departed to Bangkok with Yenny. The flight took about three hours. We were picked up by hotel limousine..wow..Yenny and I were really amazed hehe, because it was our first time to ride such a luxury car. During the journey from airport to hotel we observed the city. It looks quite similar with Jakarta except for its advertisement boards full with curly characters (read: Thai words) hehe.

After 45 minutes, finally we arrived at Shangrila hotel. We have been told that there would be an opening speech and dinner from the Academy commitee. It was really a great opportunity that we can attend this event. Besides we would gained many knowledge relating to the course that we attended, we also have a chance to meet other PwC members from various Asian countries. At least we can listen sharing from other members to gain more understanding about current technology and work development compared with our Jakarta office.

During the training week, we never have chance to explore Bangkok city. We just stayed at the hotel. Overall for the hotel service I would say Great, no wonder because the fee is also really great too (it is a five star hotel). Especially for the food, all of them are very very tasty, gain more weigh during staying here.. :P Further during the training, we also had a phototaking session and cruise session.

Finally the training finished on friday, we extend one day for exploring Bangkok before flying back to Jakarta. We started from have a boat tour along chao praya river. There were a lot of temples that we can see along the rivers. No wonder Thailand is a buddhist country. Then we visited Grand Palace, it was really great and very gold. After walking around 3-4 hours we came back to the hotel to take a rest for while, then we continued to go to a traditional market, I forgot the name. Unfortunately the weather was not so coorperative, so we waited for about one hour at the station. When we arrived at the traditional market we were a bit disappointed because it was far from what we imagined. Then we decided to go to Suan Lum Night Bazaar, this market was quite nice and entertaining. Then The next day we flight back to Jakarta.

Overall the trip to Bangkok was quite entertain to release our stress a bit. Thank's for our Thai friends, Kanta and Nuch for their hospitality while we were in Bangkok and have recommended us some nice places to go in Bangkok.
