Summer in Chantaburi 2015
My first summer trip was a respite from the heat of Bangkok. As I was sweating profusely in the garden, all I had been asking was rain. So when I embarked on a short trip to Chantaburi, rain was all that welcomed me.
It was raining through the entire afternoon and it was brewing storm during the night. The howling wind wasn't my cup of tea. I envisioned a short stroll at the beach or maybe sitting in one of the chairs for a nap. I stayed inside my bungalow.
I stayed at Chivaree Resort and it wasn't a regular resort found in the deepest part of a small road. It was tucked inside to be discovered. Let the photographs I took in the morning speak of its distinct character.
I asked when I checked in whether there were other guests but lo and behold, I was the only one just like in my previous staycations around Thailand. People probably can sense that I am arriving so they all leave. I enjoyed it thoroughly, not because I am used to being by myself but because I get to take photos with no photo bombers, LOL!

| A room in a barge, amazing find! (Tamang tama sa baha.) (Si Noah ka ba? Bakit? Ikaw kasi ang magliligtas sa akin sa panahon ng baha. KORNI!) |

| Snake like steps leading towards the bar. (Wala ka pang naiinom, lasing ka na maglakad.) |

| The lilies and the big jars complete the entrance. (Excuse me, the red carpet please!) (Ilublub kaya ka namin diyan!) |

| The wind and rain were strong to topple down a chair. (Naglasingan ang hangin at ulan kagabi.) (Bagyo ka ba? Bakit? Ikaw kasi ang magbabayad ng damages. ANG KORNI KO!) |

| A bridge connecting my room to the pool. (Excuse me, pakibuhat naman ako, tinatamad na akong maglakad.) (Sir, baka naman gusto ninyo itulak ko na lang kayo!) |

| The pool with its Ms. Universe figure. (Excuse me, puwede bang mag skinny dipping diyan?) (Ok lang, wala namang makikita.) |

| Captivated by the traditional Thai decor and room set-up! (Sarap matulog kaya lang .................... maliwanag, at ano naman ang nasa isip mo?) |

| I am in awe! The outdoor themed bathroom! (Hindi ako makaligo, baka may manilip at makita si junior, ha,ha,ha) (Pssst, ang liit naman............. ng banyo!) |

I like the bathroom and the bedroom photos.. Oh my. I wish I can come home to such arrangement every day.. Hayst.. Bed... Bed.. Bed.. I always love to have a nice bed to come home to after a day of hard work.
The rain, there are days that it's good to have the rain minus the strong and howling winds...
I love the rain though, no complaints!
I've read it in one Commencement Address, that one thing we should do is fix the bed because no matter how bad the day would go, at least there is a nice bed to get back into at the end of the day :)
pero ang nagdala talaga dito eh yung mga hugot lines eh hehehe
Blue pala pangalan mo, at yun pala ang tawag sa mga sinulat ko, hugot lines, learned something today!
