My Recent 4D3N F&E Tour To Bangkok

The Blogger’s Note:

I have recently brought my wife Soh Ai and two younger sons Wai Yu and Wai Kei on a 4D3N tour to Bangkok, Thailand from September 29 to October 2, 2011. This was my very first Free-and-Easy tour without engaging with any tour agencies at all. I planned the itinerary all by myself with slight modifications on the ground and it worked out better than expected.

A summary of the tour with selected photos is posted below and a more detailed account of the trip in Chinese language can be found in my other Blog viz. http://lautaionn.blogspot.com/2011/10/2011_18.html.
