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?
