One nice day's out to Suphanburi

I was busy the past week, going out of town with my ship friends and then with an EdPEx mission ka.

I enjoyed my little trip to Suphanburi with my Japanese ship friend who heads a UN office in Kazakhstan and wish to share some little things ka.

- Serendipity: we happened to find a new café (opened only two months ago) on our way to Supanburi. It’s called, ‘NunNaan Café’ (นันนานคาเฟ่ Nun is from her name and Naan to add that it’ll be a long-term business)…..an ambient place to sit and sip well-blended coffee and freshly baked muffins by the young owner. . In early mornings and later in the afternoon, the café will be perfect to sip some cool drinks by the vast rice fields nearby. They also grow lots of orchids for visitors to appreciate their beauty and could decide to own them😊!

How I wish it could be open until later ka…for now it’s open until 4 pm!

From our brief chat, she graduated from Thammasat’s College of Innovation. With her mother’s help, both take care of the café and the whole area.

I asked her if it was her dream job. She didn’t think so but a little later came to say she loved to be an entrepreneur so this could answer part of her dream.  

Listening to a podcast while writing, one ‘How Leaders Lead’ guest (Dr. John Noseworthy, CEO Emeritus of Mayo Clinic) was saying that the best for the young on their careers was to know themselves and if they aren’t on the right lane, they could change to their plan B which could turn out to be better ka.

Happy for her to know herself and at least, she seemed to enjoy doing it for now though it’s too early to tell ka.

- Reviews to be trusted: I’ve been quite skeptical with overloaded reviews that don’t seem to be close to what’s offered ka. As my Japanese friend craves for fish and prawns (from living in a landlocked country with only frozen seafood), we chose one called, ‘Kui Mong’ in Bangplama (บางปลาม้า) with river prawns and ‘plama’ fish. Lots talked about it and the place was quite crowded even after 1.30 pm (closed at 3 pm). We ordered their signature dishes which were wow’s for us, especially from our visiting friend!

- Feeding buffaloes: the buffalo conservation center exposed us to be up close (and personal), feeding the buffaloes with ripe bananas….hard to lure the ones who were taking it easy resting to get up for the bananas and it was interesting to see their reactions ka. Even we missed the morning buffalo show, it was a nice visit we three enjoyed a lot.

- Dragon Paradise Park: a good place to be on our list to learn about the Chinese history within an hour from the museum! 5555! A bit too dark and too fast at some point for an aging person like me but ok kaa! 

Have you been there?
