In-flight meal of TG

I was very happy to board TG flight again after a long interval, so I took a photo of the in-flight meal. Of course I chose the Thai curry. I know I can eat Thai food everyday after landing Thailand, but moreover I want to eat Thai food :)

Drink service of TG

After take off, many airlines usually serve us some drinks. For TG flight I think this is one of the best choices.

Recently some of the airlines seem to have only 'Ashahi', but I believe 'Singha' is best for TG.

Sheet TV of TG economy

When I took the TG flight with Boeing 777-300ER, I was very surprised. Because the economy sheet also has the sheet TV. For a long time TG has not provided such item for economy passengers. But of course it might be a good news for TG lovers :)

And the user interface is as follows. I think this interface is unique to TG.

WordPress and .htaccess

I decided to install WordPress which is the server installation type blog software which I was interested in long before.WordPress is one of the applications which Movable Type has a rival relation with.

There are two blogs, an English blog and a Japanese blog, in this site. It decided to update the Japanese one with MovableType and the English one with WordPress.

I installed WordPress to a subdirectory of the server, However I wanted WordPress to power root ( http://www.yuhasan.com/ ) but I didn't want all of the WordPress files cluttering up root directory.

WordPress already gives us the solution for this request. It is described in http://codex.wordpress.org/Giving_WordPress_Its_Own_Directory

I tried this method and through this I learned the behavior of .htaccess. Especially the mod_rewite function is cool. I like this function :-)

In this site, WordPress automatically added the following sentences into the existing .htaccess file. These sentenses are the mystic words of magic.

# BEGIN WordPress
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule . /index.php [L]
</IfModule>

# END WordPress

From the window of a train of Thai

I updated the blog system from MovableType 3 to MovableType 4.
On this occation, I'd like to try broadcasting movies.

This time let me inroduce the movie taken by myself when I was on a train in Thailand.

Recently there are many free services in internet such as broadcasting movies.

Unfortunately, the sound contained in this movie is only noise of wind. So the default setting is sound-off.

Songkran (the traditional Thai New Year)

Today, 13 April, is the traditional Thai New Year. In Thailand they enjoy water and souse water gustily over the others. In some places they move up the water festival. That's quite exciting.

This water festival is held out side the house. There is no possibility to be hit inside the house, however when going out to the street, everyone faces danger from the direct hit of water. Moreover sometimes the water is not clean, is doutful origin. So I think it is safe that the travellers from abroad do not join this festival.

Unfortunately I have no opportunity to join this water festival because during this period it is difficult to have a vacation for me every year. However in Japan there are some water festival for Thai people living in Japan.

In Tokyo area, almost every year some volunteers hold a water festival, but in these few years they couldn't hold the festival. Extra information, there is a water festival in Wat Pak Nam, in Narita city.

Let me introduce the pictures that were taken at the water festival in Tokyo 1998. Everyone include falang(white people) enjoyed the water festival.

Erawan museum

When advancing toward the east on the Sukhumvit street, and advancing toward the direction of Samut Phrakan, a huge monument appears to the left side.
It is a statue of the elephant that has three heads.

At first I could not understand what this is. However around this statue there were the praying place and souvenir shops, so I thought it might be a valuable place.And I also prayed here.

Well, recently after having examined about it I found the detail of this statue. It was a museum of individual management!!!

I don't know why many people pray here. However I also have prayed here once :-) So I cannot complain to them (^^;

Anyway, please see here when getting tired of sightseeing in the center part in Bangkok.
To learn where the place is, please refer to the below picture shown by Google Maps.
