Here is the 4th trip of me with Hilight Hitech production team.  Tomorrow will be another trip for HiLight Hitech this time to Pattaya.  Nothing much to say except if you want to know more please turn to Channel 5 every Monday 11.05 – 11.30

  After 133 years in operation servicing all Thai people, it is time to an end.  After April 30, 2008 the telegram service in Thailand will be terminated.

The good old telegram has been defeated by mobile phone, SMS and Internet e-mail which make telegram less and less popular.  Currently there are around 100 telegrams per month while the cost of maintaining the system is around 25Mbaht monthly.   This is the normal case of old technology was replaced by a new one.

I remember once in the school, we learn how to send the telegram and really send one as a homework.  Waiting for telegram send to myself is quite exciting back then.

Now until Apr 30, there will be exhibition on telegram in Thailand at General Post Office (Bangrak) where you can send your last telegram to anyone.

All Good Things Must Come to An End.   So long Telegram, we will miss you

Next week will be travel week for lots of Thai. Songkran Festival usually consist of 3-4 days holidays. This year government announce the Apr 16 also a holiday. For some (like me) taking 17-18 off mean 9 days vacation.

This year I take this break to go to Greece, visit the beautiful Santorini and Meteora. So there will be no update next week except on Jaiku feed (hope the SMS Jaiku still works).

So see you next week after the recharge krub

Hi there!!

Now I’m officially a care taker of 16G iPhone.  Actually it is mom’s but I will be the one who make it works.  The first impression was the screen, so bright and crisp.  I think the iPhone and I will get along well.  Hope I’ll become iPhone guru soon.

The first problem is why it doesn’t like my mom’s SIM but I can use mine well.  Umm

สุดสัปดาห์นี้จะได้ติดไปกับกองถ่ายของ Hilight Hitech อีกครั้ง  โดยที่คราวนี้จะไปถ่ายกันที่โบนันซ่า เขาใหญ่  ได้กลับไปที่นั้นอีกครั้งหลังจากที่ไปดูดนตรี Winter Festival ครั้งแรกเมื่อหลายปีก่อน

ขอกัดเล็กๆ กับ Hilight Hitech  ว่าออกทริปแต่ละครั้งก็เป็นทีม Production คนละทีมตลอด  ฮิ ฮิ  ทีมนี้ดูเหมือนว่าจะเข้มแข็งกว่าทีมอื่นๆ   ผมเองก็ได้รับมอบหมายให้ถ่ายภาพเบื้องหลังรายการ….  ก็ลองดูก็แล้วกัน
