Merry Xmas.

Dear all of my friends.
 
Merry Xmas 2009, Thais believe that no 9 is a lucky number. I wish you all have a successfully with your jobs, happy family and anything that you wish be come true. 
 
This is the 3rd Xmas after I got support. Thanks to all of you that gave my life to the right direction, not only myself but also may family. I could say that you have changed my life from the poor boy in the rural area of Thailand, the boy who have worked to support his family, the boy who have no choice, but today that boy can study at the University and can look after his family also. Thanks to everybody who gave me an opportunity.
 
Love, Kai Thailand.

The United Plantations Berhad.

 

 This is the picture of  Dato Carl Bek-Nielsen (left), me, Mr Martin Bek-Nielsen (right).  I took it when I went to work with Michael at the United Plantations Berhad in Malaysia. They are so nice and so friendly to me; I stayed for a week in their beautiful guest house there. And now I have become good friend with them.

 

This is a good example for many companies to run the business by care, because UP always care about their employees, environment, research & development to have better products and have the same quality. This is what we want to see all companies in the world do.

 

How do they take care of their employees? UP have nice houses for the workers, hospitals, schools for children and old folk homes, UP always thinks about the employees.

 

Environment; they never burn any part of the left over from the oil palm trees but they let them disintegrate themselves to earth and be the nutrient for oil palm again and again.

 

And the most interesting is Biogases, because they use the left over from the factory to produce the gases, and the gas can be used instead of gasoline for 90 % for the whole factory and refinery.

 

Researching & Development: The team research oil palms to a get better product and the same quality. They try to breed the best of the best oil palm to get the best  young oil palm trees which give the same fruit when they are getting old.

 

Finally; the best products comes  from the best care like UP is doing,to take care of the soil to get the better earths, take care of the employees to get better workers, take care of environment not damaging the planet. It is not too difficult to do if you just do care.

How do you feel with this picture?

The First Time to See the King Palace.

 

 

 

 

 

 

        It is beautiful to see an old lady with Karen traditional dress walks in to the King Palace in Bangkok. She is a woman with a strong character. She’s so beautiful I am very happy to take her around and the most importance is she enjoyed very much and very exciting to see.

       This is the first time in my life to see the King Palace; it is very beautiful, “said” grandmother.

        I took a lot of picture from there and make a photo copy for her to bring it home.

This could be the only thing that I can do and spend time with my grandmother, who’s the one took good care of me when I was young. She teach me to speak Karen, she teach me to understand thing more easily. I will be able to do more after I graduated my education. But now I think I can make her so proud of myself but  I can do better.  

     

 

Old Grandmother and Lord Buddha.

 

           This is a picture of my grandmother, I took it at Phra Chetupon  Wimolmangkhalaram temple or War Pho when she visited us in Bangkok. I take her around the city. I think this is the best photo I can take, her face is beautiful and my lord Buddha face is really nice. I am not a good photographer but I like to try to take a photo and look for a different view and new style of it, some is good, but many are bad (laughing) and I really hope that I will be a good photographer one days.

 

Cabbages & Condoms

 

This is a past of the Cabbages and Condoms at Pattaya province, where I am working. It is quite different from the other restaurant. I like it so much and the best thing is the profit from the restaurant gave for development, education act. If you come to Thailand you should come and visit out restaurant, sitting next to the beach. It is wonderful atmosphere. I am sure you will like it.

Our Computer

We got a new computer, it is very useful to help me and Gae to learn new things. We can both go on the Internetnet, and we can use many programs .

I use it for find information when I study. Gae is learning Photoshop.

Even sometimes I can relax and find music to listen to. We can now contact our friends.
