ViSiting The GrEat IsLaMic M0NuMeNtS

In the beggining, Islam started as a small community deep in the heart of the Arabian Desert. It is a religion destined to influence the world with its civilization. From the valleys of the Arabian Desert, the spark of Islamic civilization has spread throught all major continents of the world within half the century of the Prophet Muhammad's (s.a.w) death.

The message of Islam went forth with an electrifying speed from Africa to Europe amd from India to China, evolving into a series of great civilization. Forming a complex community of diverse ethnic background and united by a common faith, underpinned by a global network of thousands of mosques.

It was good for us to have knowledge about all the great Islamic Mosques that reminisce the rise of Islam into a sophisticated global religion. Im so impress to see all these great Islamic Monuments and perhaps i could share it with u guys..

3rD TriP tO ThaIlAnD

I spent almost 2weeks in Thailand. This time I went there with my brother and friends. At that time H1N1 virus becomes a hot issue for the tourists. We were so lucky nothing happen to us..having holiday in Bangkok was awesome. This time I managed to go to so many places even outside Bangkok.
1st day since we arrived at night we went to semamphut (night market). Normally this place the tourist will not be seen here, it is quiet dangerous. Even when we were shopping, we saw a man tyring to shoot someone. Luckily nobody get injured..
2nd day we went to Tawanna market for shopping. This time we went for real shopping because the electronic items here are so cheap. I bought the phone there which cost me 2200 bath=Rm 220. If u tries to find the same model in KL it will cost u Rm 350.
3rd day we went to Pattaya and stayed there for 1 night. Honestly that place only suitable for European people..hmm what can I say..the strip dancer, clubs, chicks and etc..not for me but we enjoyed the view there J.
4th day we decided to go to an island named Koh Larn. This island was so beautiful and u can have so many activities whether on the beach or in the water..there have also scuba diving, snorkeling, shark feeding and etc. 5th day we went to Ratchamburi (floating market). This place was the original floating market that situated outside Bangkok. U can have the elephant ride, buffalo ride and also touch the tiger for free.
6th day, since we were going around non-stop for almost 5days we decided to take 1 day rest. We planned where to go for the next 1 week.
7th day we went to the market that sells so many type of items. They also export it to many countries. We have to buy more than 50 items to get the cheap price. Since my friend nat want to buy broaches and sell it in her shop, I got the nice price for the items I want to buy.
8th day my brother want to go for shopping so we went to the CinePlax shopping mall nearby the Rama X bridge. It was also nearby the main city of Bangkok. Traffic jam is worst place there.
9th day we just spent the day with watching movies and enjoyed the food around Bangkok.
10th day we decided to go to Pattaya again. There is one of us does not feel satisfied and want to enjoy more there. We just have a day trip there.
11th day we went again to shopping mall in Pratunam (Platinum). I came here before during my first trip. So I know which shop to go because there are thousands of shops and u can’t spend all your time for these shops. 12th day we wake up early in the morning to catch the train to Ayuthaya. Unfortunately we miss the train and we take the bus almost 3hours. This place is outside Bangkok and was the original main city for Bangkok. This ancient city was built for 4500 years ago.
13th day we went to the king garden situated nearby Bangkapi. On the way back we stop by at the Tawanna market. This market also I’ve been before during my 1st trip. We spent our last Bahts there and enjoyed the last time in Bangkok since tomorrow is our flight..
