S L O W F E S T

We need more of this type of event in Thailand! SC Asset and Dont Journal have putted together this awesome "SLOWFEST". Market/Art/Food/Music 4 words that explain everything. SLOWFEST encourages people to find the balance in life. Slow things down and enjoy every moment. We are now living in the digital world where everybody communicate and connect through internet. We often get carried away by speed of technology that shape our global society. It's not a secret, I am fascinated by technology that help people connected better and that's one of the main reasons I started blogging. The world is moving and changing fast. Sometimes I find it's hard to keep up! Don't you?

Gandhi once said "there are more to life than increasing its speed". Give life a little break and pay attention to every little things in life, in other words focusing more on the quality of life which I personally believe it is something very essential and help anyone understand the world better which would lead to a healthy living and greater appreciation of life.

I was forced to take a break from blogging since my laptop broke. Guess it's a sign to really give myself a short break. Yes, I was trying to be positive about it. As a result, I didn't blog for almost 2 weeks. I am not gonna lie, it's difficult for me to stop thinking about blogging completely and feel guilty for considering taking a break. But once I overcome the frustration, let loose, allow myself to relax and just focus on pleasure. My mind just flow free and I feel healthier from the inside out....the ultimate feeling of joy!

 Now. Let's talk about this SLOWFEST market. I was quite impressed how it turned out to be such a great community event. To be frank, I did't expect much out of it. The market was huge and there're multiple pop-up stores with many different things to buy and interesting activities to participate. From crafted products, fashion & clothing, food & beverages, postcard painting to bottle gardening, something for everyone. It's good to see many Bangkokians come out and enjoy something really cool that we don't often get a chance to experience in Thailand. So thanks to whoever made this happen! Here're some pictures I took from SLOWFEST 2014 at Airport link, Makkasan, Bangkok.

Bann Makok The Getaway Koh Kood


Yes, I love my city life, but every once in a while it's always a great idea to embrace the slow living and completely forget all your worries and the hectic city life. A couple weeks ago, my sister, my brother, and I spent 3 days 2 nights in "Bann Makok" a wonderful getaway solar powered boutique hotel with 8 rooms in Koh Kood, the furthest island on the east-coast of ThailandThis place is like a Hidden Gem! I wouldn't lie, it's not so easy to get to Koh Kood. We drove 5 hours from Bangkok to the port in Trad, then took an hour speed boat ride to get to Bann Makok in Koh Kood.

From the moment we arrived, I was so captivated by the "Thai Style" vintage wood furnished house that set right on the canal and how its setting goes so well with the beautifully and peacefully relaxed vibes of the natural surroundings. The warm welcome from friendly staffs making me feel like home. Everything here was so much better than I imagined!

You can enjoy almost anything you want at this small cozy eco friendly hotel! Having a day full of outdoor and indoor activities of your choice, snorkeling among little fishes, kayaking to the beach, playing in the sea, walking to the waterfall relaxing in the room, reading your favourite book, or just being lazy drinking coffee, chilling by the balcony and looking at the clear canal water. I truly had a memorable and unique experience at Bann Makok and would definitely recommend Bann Makok to all nature lovers seeking peace and tranquility away from the city. It's definitely worth a visit!
