Back to Bangkok

Our workshop session with True seemed to go well, and I think we now have a good understanding for what they need in phase two of the project. It could take some time to develop the customizations they need, so not sure when I will next be back here in Bangkok for a site visit.

In the evening, another chance to hit the town with the i team. Over dinner, Vince took the time to introduce me to his chosen religion: pastafarianism, and explain the powers of its supreme being, the flying spaghetti monster. It made more sense to me than most other religions I have encountered.

Another unexpected bonus of the evening was getting Vince's advice on places to go in Thailand. I had originally planned to go diving in Koh Samet, but that came to nothing when I discovered that all the accommodation on the small island was fully booked due to some local island festival that was on that weekend. Vince's suggestion was to spend a few days in Kanachanaburi, otherwise known as Bridge Over the River Kwai town. Not only that, but Mike, another member of the i team, was also planning to go there, having had to cancel the previous week due to pressure of work. So I would have the benefit of a traveling companion. Watch this space.
