Yesterday afternoon conversation.
MyBoss: Okeh, got commisioning at Kabul, 350USD, anyone?
Teamate A: 500USD boleh laa!
MyBoss: OK, i request 500USD, we will see their respond.
Kabul?? I called my mom last night, and told her about the offer, she recommend me to look for other destination, Arab for example. I think if ask my mum to choose between Kabul and Bangkok, she prefer me to go to Bangkok. Because those lady didn't ask for ransom or point gun to me,instead they using my 'weapon' .But at the end i told my mum that if i want to go to Kabul, it is becoz i want to be somewhere people hardly to travel to. Money is extra. Mongolia or Nepal for example. But the end safety is most important thing before money.
I did survive for my first international task. Actually it is a very simple task. My boss already mention in email that i could pass my probation period if i bring back all signed document! hehe... my probation period should take about 6 months i guess :P. But my career with this company just start for 3 months. Lucky me i guess. I dont mind if he dont make me pass , to me that only a morale support. 
On my last weekend at Bangkok, i try to find travel agent so i could plan my real vacation. i found a homepage of Bangkok's Smiling Tour, really simple one.Click here. The best thing was, you could combine some of the trip. Please refer to the homepage.They will find you an agent and also will put u in a group of 12. Which enough for 1 big van. I tried to call at about 11 pm and i make my reservation which is next morning. And i got one slot which is join with other groups of 12 including me. Alhamdulillah.
My choise of travel? I only book for half day travel which cost me 700+100bath. That 100 because my hotellocation is a bit far other participant. Only for floating market. Its is wonderful trip which i really recommand to all. But travel start at 6 am. Make sure you wakeup early. We arrived at about 9 am.
Our location was Damnoen Saduak floating market. You will get a trip in James Bond Boat. And go along the canal. After that travel in the floating market. It cost another 150 bath to feel experience in the sampan through the floating market. May be it waste ur money if you bring ur kid. But for me, it is good experience. Then you will have time until 1030am to discover your floating market. But if you would like to go for Elephant ride. You have to meet the agent at 10am. Honestly i not interested for a ride with elephant.
Then the agent will 'park' you at Cobra Park. Which is not in the list, but they try
for some luck to get some money from you. Its ok, just sit and get some drink. I suppose to go back to Bangkok after that , but i ask the agent about the price if i would like to join another group for other place. Yup addup another 400bath with lunch.Of course halal one. Most of the group go for Crocodile Farm and Elephant Ground. But i book for trip to Rose Garden, which is park of thai village, and they also perfome show of thai dance , boxing, wedding and elephant show.So the agent send me to Rose Garden while the rest of the group enjoy their moment at Croc and Elephant Ground. The show at Rose garden is really entertain, and i fully recommand for ur choise. Even the rest of the group join me after finished their trip at crocodile and elephant place.

And our journey back arrived at my hotel at about 530pm. Why you should go by those travel agent? Because they know when is the important show that you should not miss them. Believe me ,you wont regret. And it also give you oppurtunity to know some international friend.

But after arrive at the station we had our lunch first before boat ride.After lunch we have boat travel to those canal, and i can say those canal is not recommanded. :P .Better go straight to Wat Arun, unless if u was there 7am in morning. There was small floating market.Which i not sure what it looks like.The Big floating market locate 1 hour travel from Bangkok(check in the internet).
Muslim Food - at Saphan Taksin station,walk along Charoen Krung rd(if i not mistaken) you will pass Robinson Shopping Mall on your left.After about 500m, you will see State Tower Bangkok on your right(about 5 floor building). And keep go straight, there was Muslim Restaurant on your left.

Muslim Food - We had our dinner at Maedah Restaurant.Arabic and local food. I am not sure the road name , but between Baiyoke tower 1 and tower 2 , near to 7-Eleven.
I will post some picture when i finish edit them.
I still dont understand with most of my friend that always talking to me about massage when i talk about my trip to Bangkok. Instead Gee still saiko me to have sex?? Damn, world is cruel. So to have clean my self from all those toy, i did my responsibility to the All Mighty during Friday afternoon so that i think could change my mind, point to the right direction.
I know about this mosque about 3 days ago.Not far from the site which is about 500m walk. And some stall near to the mosque so i have my lunch there , but i have difficulty to order the food. Luckly there is a school teacher from one of Ugama school there able to help me. Alhamdulillah. He mention to me that there are few Malaysian also have Friday prayer there, but they already gone when i order my food. His name was Muharamm.Thanks dude.
