English reader = skipped this part and jumpped straight to the page breaker. 首先，如果你是想要读英文的，直接跳过去中间分段过后就可以了。这一次主要是用中文给大家分享一下今次筹备去#steemfest的最大目的。身为一名中年汉，头发都一百枝光了，家里有大有小还有旧情人，如果不趁现在争取机会外出参与 #steemfest 这一种大型的联谊会，特别是在邻国两个小时飞行这么靠近，可能要再等个十几年娃们长大了才有机会再出去了。这一次可说是千载难逢，一定要想办法的。

先给大家解说，街头美食一直是我的最爱。甜酸苦辣应有尽有！特别是椰汁，算起来才几块钱一粒椰子，@aellly 就算是南海都没有这么便宜吧？随口说的，别打我。别人说，要吃街头干嘛不选台湾？我说，不是不选，是我没有试过所以不知道。也有人说，飞机票如果提早订购，飞曼谷和飞台北的价格可以不相上下，为何不飞远一点？其实我也是这么认为，不如下次找多一点台湾的#steem民，来搞一个台湾#steemfest之路。

再来看看曼谷这一个繁华都市，来这里当然可以是办工事，不过对我来说也不懂得泰文，公什么事什么？要么就来玩！泰国曼谷的大都市非常清洁。话说街道上已经禁烟，不过有指定的“解放区”给烟民。有烧柴的朋友自重，别弄张罚单就可怜了。去年同一段时间十一月七日/八日/九日我都在这繁忙的街道上来回步行走遍了曼谷市中心！可说每一个角落都有我的脚毛了。

再说，身为一名华裔，生长在飞中国人的地方，到了别的国家的唐人街的感觉又是熟悉又是激动的感觉，可能在国内的同胞是不会明白的。在一个陌生的都市遇上可以跟自己用中文交流的人是一件难能可贵的事。在中国人的地方看到中国招牌是一件再不能平凡的事了，不过非中国人的地方看到一条中国街是很美妙的。

原谅我炒冷饭，但是传统炒饭都是炒隔夜饭的，所以再一次给大家介绍虽然泰国是一个族中佛教和兴都教的国土，但是这里却有着过百年历史的教堂。这些都是以前葡萄牙占领时代，荷兰加入阵容，英国也来插国旗的时候，传教士在当地建设的教堂。拉仔虽然不是天主教徒，不过非常欣赏这些老式建筑物。图中拉仔和旧情人教堂前留影。

结果，今年四月又来了这个熟悉的地方，这次是办公。照骗？没几张，因为实在没有时间好好享受和旅行见识。个人觉得，如果像大佬@anomadsoul想来泡个火辣辣的泰国妞也是不错的。毕竟这里是开放的成人迪士尼乐园。我是没有什么希望了，如果真的成事，下个月临时买机票带着旧情人飞过去，跟大家见个面然后就开溜继续旅游了！#steemfest见面会，对我来说是个藉口。容我赢张全包票，总不能把旧情人赖在酒店自己出去威吧。

As I'm getting aged, I realized the window of travel opportunity is getting lesser and tighter by the day. This time around, #steemfest in my neighbor country could be a once in a lifetime deal. If I missed this opportunity, I'll probably have to wait for another decade or two before the kids grow up. I will have to somehow find a way to earn enough to drag my ass there for this event.

First of all, let me tell you one of the most important part of visiting Bangkok, is the street food. Well, some of them will ask me to visit Taiwan or Cambodia. May be they're right? But I can't give you a certain answer to that because I did not visit those two countries before, but I did in Thailand, TWICE since last November! And I'm hoping I will make this #steemfest event my anniversary because last year I was there on November 6th.

Bangkok is a huge and advanced city, many would choose to make their business carrier here. For me, seriously I don't even speak Thai. What sort of carrier opportunity will I have. Might as well make every moment count, enjoy the city tour. Street is super clean, and for all you know they have banned smoking at public places. However, designated smoking area are provided around the corner. Those who smoke, do take note, or else if you catch a ticket, that's going to be pain in teh balls. Here's a shot taken last November, for a few days I leave enough footprints on almost every corner of the city.

As a Malaysian Chinese born in a country other than mainland China, somehow feel special. As soon as I stepped out of the vehicle seeing Chinese signboard everywhere on a foreign land, it feel somewhat special to me. Yes, I'm a Malaysian, but I speak Chinese with a Thailand Chinese! It's just wonderful!

Forgive me for recycling material, but that's the whole idea of this post. Other than Hindu and Buddhism in Thailand, one of the major foreign religion is roman catholic. They have some of the oldest churches in Bangkok. Despite I'm not a Catholic, but I'm a big fan of beautiful architecural buildings. Me and ex-girlfriend in front of the old church in this photo.

Once again, in April I came to this beautiful land for a semi tourism but more of a business trip. Well, it was a business trip, there's not much time I able to sneak out from work, and I have limited time to take photo and meet up friends. Like @anomadsoul said, might as well get hook up with a beautiful crypto girl here and rest of our life is easy. Moreoever, this place was once known as "adult disneyland" yo. But I'm not going that path. I will be on my best effort to save enough, and hopefully by October month end I already have enough to pay for both me and ex-girlfriend, to make sure we have enough fund to safely fly there and fly home for the kids. Taking this #steemfest trip as a business is bullshit. I wouldn't even believe myself, I'd probably drop by and say hi, minggle around and if there's a chance, I will go out and tour around Bangkok! Let me win the free ticket, hopefully it's "transferable" and I'll be there at the convention for half a day, and the other half for ex-girlfriend yo. Haha. Or, let me win two tickets.
