So on Sunday early morning I had to wake up early to catch my 6.42am train at the Sapporo JR Station to the New Chitose Airport. Fortunately I'm just a 7 mins walk from my hotel to the train station.

Arriving at 6.15am

There are many types of Thai food usually grouped by regions. My favourite is probably Isaan (north east Thailand). Found one close to home known as Kalasin (as in the province)

Recently found a new 2 months old halal restaurant at mainly Muslim area in Bangkok (Minburi).

The restaurant uses an old architecture southern house which is is beautiful and nostalgic. Name of restaurant is Chef Yis.

Been a crazy first 6 months of the year for work. So in search of a break it finally came last week when I planned to spend 2 week away from work travelling alone to Switzerland for the first time.

So left Bangkok early morning of Thursday (Wednesday night)
