A Thai Holiday

The day finally came for the family to proceed for a short holiday to Hua Hin & Bangkok. It was just so difficult to coincide all the schedule to have this ONE WEEK BREAK. Packing was done almost the night before and the morning prior to the trip.
It was like ages, since we have last managed to round up everyone for a trip. (There is usually one or two who just couldn't make it). As we prepared to board the aircraft, Aaron gave his sister ONE final PUSH to the immigration counter, T2 Changi International Airport. It was like planning for one major exercise.

With the help of Gregory Tan, a short ONE WEEK package was put together and off we went commencing on 15 Dec 07. The itinerary (a little "free & easy" bit) :
