Surrender My Insurance Or Not?

I called my insurance agent the other day to talk about my policy as I won’t be fully covered once I stay in Bangkok for good. I wonder if there’s a need to continue the hospitalization and personal accident coverage because they are only effective in our country. I will have to get another coverage [...]

Own Biz or Family Business?

We had a party tonight and we met lots of relations from hubby’s side of the family. Some of them were surprised by our decision to start a business in Bangkok without working with FIL who’s been there for years. Actually, that’s the main thing of starting a new business by ourselves. Over the years, [...]

There are things like air-conditioners, kitchen utensils and home office furniture that we need to buy by the time we move over. I did some rough calculation and I think we need about 30k as starter. It’s not [...]

Home Office Furniture

We didn’t rent a big house in Bangkok, thus the rooms are kind of small to me. However, I can’t complain much but try myself to optimize the space for a home office as well as the kids’ study room. I certainly cannot go for fancy home office furniture like this, even if they are [...]

Recycling Business

Hubby is interested to venture into recycling business but we just don’t have the connection and capital for that in Bangkok. But once our first business runs smoothly, we might look into the possibility of setting up business in recycling. There are so many forms of business involving recycling like processing plastic bottles, aluminum cans, [...]

Blogging For Traffic

I noticed that some of the blogs which are belonged to the same bloggers kept posting about the same topics with the same keywords, but just at different blogs. No doubt about it, they are doing so for organic traffic and if you search the keywords, you will come to any of their multiple sites [...]

A Thick Skin Blogger

I love snapping photos of food, my kids, anything and anywhere. Some of my friends have no idea that I have multiple blogs in different niches that they will wonder why am I snapping photos of food or stuffs when we meet.
