Chiang Mai excursion

What to expect in Chiang Mai? Temple, hill tribe, hot spring, strawberry (yup, you can find it in northern region), and the not-so-interesting Golden Triangle. The town itself is very easy to navigate. The old town is bordered with moat in a square area. Four gates are built since centuries ago. Out of the old town, you will find shopping malls, high end hotels and golf course. Perhaps the only must-visit place in Chiang Mai town is the temple of Doi Suthep which is located at the hill. From there, you can have a bird's eye view of Chiang Mai town. But it was hazzy when we went there. Probably due to its dry season. Oh, mind you, there are 300 over steps to climb before you get to the top.

Trip 01-06.....rough itinerary

Category: Travel OK, time is catching up. I have about 3 weeks left before the trip. Have drafted out initial itinerary: 6 May - Fly to BKK and transit to Udon Thani. From Udon Thani, go to Nong Khai and cross over Laos border. Immigration office opens until 10pm. Hope to reach Vientiane before midnite. 7 May - Excursion around Vientiane. 8 May - Travel to Vang Vieng. Not really want to spend 11 hours on the bus to get to Luang Prabang. Have a pit stop will be nicer. 9 May - Continue to Luang Prabang. 10 May - Excursion around Luang Prabang. 11 May - Slow boat to Pak Beng. Mandatory pit stop due to slowliness of the boat. 12 May - Slow boat to Huoy Xai.

Proceed to Chiang Mai. 14 May -Back to Malaysia.

Dangers Men Face #1 - A Dangerous Journey

As we live our life in this fallen world, we are exposed to all sort of "dangers". Danger brings different meaning and experience to each individual. But the danger which we fear the most are the ones we do not see until it is too late. No doubt satan brings good disguise until the victim slowly entrapped into sweet temptation. Each one of us have dreams. Our dreams somehow change along the course of life. Most of the members felt that perspective and dream change as we follow Christ. Dangers come in whether we know it or not. If we are not aware, dangers will destroy our dreams. The members believe the prominent danger that Christians are facing is danger of dream. Christians tend dare not to have big dream (big dream for spiritual work). This could be due to biblical values which have molded the perspective of each Christians. Martin Luther did have a big dream. There are five dangers to be explored: danger of loss, danger of sin, danger of freezing, danger of witdrawal and...

Was bought at a price

So He was crucified on that day, two thousand years ago. Three days later He was risen. And because of this, we were bought at a price (1 Cor 6:20). This should reminds us not to waste our life or do something nonsense. Lately was quite indulged in cyber world until the TV and dvd player become insignificant (ever since signed up the home internet). So let's re-adjust the priority. Have some time to clear the clutter around. Not to forget to snap some work with the new toy. Happy Easter Sunday

Life, Travel, GRACE
