Sepang Gold Coast @ Bagan Lalang

Me & my colleague with the total of 6 of us going for a day trip from Tanjung Sepat to Bukit Jugra, Banting then to Sepang Gold Coast @ Bagan Lalang. But this post will mainly focus on the Bagan Lalang photos that I took during last saturday.

It was a surprise as how much has change in Bagan Lalang and the beach is cleaner if compare to Morib or Port Dickson, maybe because of the development on Sepang Gold Coast as they clean up that area. It was a beautiful place for you to see sunset or to have recreation trip with your family & friends there.

Below is the picture taken during that day:

Kanchanaburi, Thailand

During our visit to Thailand, this is our second tour to go out from busy city life in Bangkok to Kanchanaburi. We book our tour with same agent in Khao San that we go for Ayuthaya as the price is the same as well. It cost us 690 Baht per person which include lunch and transport.

Kanchanaburi is a town (thesaban mueang) in the west of Thailand and the capital of Kanchanaburi province.

For most visitors the main sight of interest is the Bridge over the River Kwai, the start of the infamous World War II Death Railway to Burma (Myanmar),as well as its associated museums. There is an increasingly thriving backpacker scene taking advantage of the chilled-out riverside vibe for those that need to get away from Bangkok. More foreign visitors are discovering why Thais know it as one of the most beautiful provinces in the country with its easily accessible waterfalls and national parks.

Our 1st visit is to Kanchanaburi War Cemetery that is the main POW cemetery associated with victims of the Burma Railway. It is located in the town of Kanchanaburi, Thailand, and is maintained by the Commonwealth War Graves Commission. 6,982 POWs are buried there, mostly British and Dutch.

Below are some of the photos taken in the War Cemetery:

Tourist viewing

Our second place would be the famous The Kanchanaburi War Cemetery Bridge over the River Kwai. It was a part of the infamous Death Railway to Burma, constructed by POWs working for the Japanese in hellish conditions during World War 2.

Just nearby the bridge it was also located the Art Gallery and War Museum about what happening in the past during the War time in Kanchanaburi.

After River Kwai Bridge, we had our lunch at the nearby river in about 20 minutes drive away from there. This is our 3th activities there where we can sit on the bamboo rafting.

After our bamboo rafting, we continue our tour to Elelphants and Friends Conservation Camp where you can ride on the elephant.

Once we done our elephant ride, we continue to visit Erawan waterfall but is a bit disappointed on the waterfall as it was not as beautiful as we though maybe we didn't have enough time to reach the main stream as shown by the photos it was very beautiful.

Just nearby the waterfall, we were given a chance to sit in the train to reach the the infamous Death Railway. It was 415 km long Burma-Thailand railway and was build during World War II.

On 8pm, we reach back to Bangkok in Khao San road. We were so tired as this journey is longer compare to Ayuthaya although it just take 1 day. Overall is an interesting trip as we seen something different from Bangkok.

One Utama is having a fashion weeks from 24 April till 3 May 2009. Is a chance I don't want to miss as maybe I able to learn something there about photography. It was a great surprise for me when I arrive as there are almost more than 50 photographer and when the time I register for the passes to stand on the podium area for shooting I was on number 61 and the number keep growing.This is the 1st time I saw so many photographer gather together in this event. As this show the growing of interest people on photography in Malaysia.

During the shooting, I was a bit disappointed as never really make good use of the LED background and mostly the picture is just portrait images. It makes the out come look all almost the same. I also able to learn something from some of the senior there as they are very friendly to share their idea and thought in photography. Also making some new friend there as well in the same interest as me.

Below are some of the picture taken during yesterday:
