Shoppingmum’s Office Life

Being an expat in Bangkok means you have to pay more than the Thai at certain places, such as the admission fees to some tourist spots. Some times, you might even have to pay more if you are visiting the doctors, as English speaking doctors tend to charge a higher consultation fee. Frankly, if you [...]

 I went to a community international school at an institute just now, and it’s the cheapest international school I’ve found so far. It looks small and old, but with the price we are paying, I can’t expect much. They don’t even provide compulsory lunch or tea break, so I have to be very busy packing [...]

I’ve just received a notice about our car insurance, so we have to renew it by next month. How time flies. We are here for more than a year, and even if our business is still quite slow, we are striving fine in this foreign land. So far, I would say that staying in Bangkok [...]

As comparing to Malaysia, I quite like my life in Bangkok, even if I don’t have a lot of friends here. Luckily, I’m in keeping touch with some buddies online and thus I don’t feel too bored. Besides that, I’m quite occupied after office hour, and by the time my kids are put to bed, [...]

 My car insurance is expiring soon. I can’t believe that we have been here for almost a year. I might need some free insurance quotes for my car soon! LOL!
It’s seems like yesterday, when we made the big move to move over to Bangkok and start a new life and business here. I would say, [...]

It seems like the political scene in Bangkok is going down the drain again. There are demonstration lately, it’s getting bad.

They are really ruin their country’s image further [...]

 I’ve just been told about Songkran holiday in April, and we will have a number of days off. I’m not sure if hubby has any plan in mind, but knowing him well, I know that he does not plan for any holiday. I’m always the one who plan for weekend getaways or family vacation, based [...]

 I’m just back from the immigration office just now and I’m glad that we are given 90 days stay again. At least hubby can have a peace of mind and concentrate on a few projects he’s working on. Flying here and there is definitely not good for our business, considering that we travel as a [...]

We have been trying to renew our visas here in Bangkok, but after making numerous trips to Thai Immigration Bureau and Embassy of Malaysia, we still can’t get things done. Frankly, we are running out of time, but we still have to make another trip to the immigration tomorrow. This time, we have to get [...]

I’ve only been to Bangkok in less than a year, but I’ve seen a lot about this country. There are things which I like about it, and there are incidents which I hate them to the most. Things like seizing the airports sound like extremely childish to me, and the country’s image and economy is [...]
