Granmonte Vineyard @ Thailand

 I came across this Granmonte Vineyard which is located in Thailand when i watched a TV programme today. Since i planned to go Thailand for a trip this year, therefore i google-d it soon after i finished watching the programme.

This vineyard is started by the family of Mr. Vissoth because the family love nature a lot!!!

This is the main building of the vineyard. 


The interior of the building with a lot of wines and visitors can sit down and relax to enjoy their glass of wine.


This is Mr. Vissoth, who act as the tour guide and explains about the plantation of the grapes vineyard. 
According to the TV programme and some blogs, he is a friendly guy.


This is how the wineyard looks like. 
People says that the view is great if you stand at the balcony of the guesthouse nearby and you will truly love this place. 


Grnamonte's wine production. 


Mr. Vissoth's daughter, who is the only female vintner in Thailand. 

A guesthouse is built here for guests to stay and be closed with the nature.
I'm not sure about the rate though.

This is Mr. Vissoth and his family. =D


 According to the TV programme, You will be able to visit the wine production area and get to taste different types of wine produced there. Besides, there is also a Fine-dining restaurant nearby there which provide special food that used grapes as theme. It is rather special if you are bored of the normal recipes out there. I'm seriously attracted to this place after watching it and will definitely pay a visit there =D Interested to join me??? 


You can read this blog too about this vineyard @ http://themanfrommoselriver.wordpress.com/2009/03/27/thailand-new-latitude-wines-granmonte-vineyard/

*Hopefully i'm able to make a visit soon enough after my exam finishes. I will definitely tell you about my visit there. Stay tune. 

Ends with lots of love, 
XOXO

♥Getaway for three of us♥

It had been a long time since we spent time together. Still remembered that we used to go school, tuition, sing k, and shopping together when we are young. (though i am not OLD now) three of us knew each other urm since kindergarden where zhen ling still holds a milk bottle in her hand with hair tied up. We still looked the same though physically we gained lots of weight. But we are still the SAME, TOGETHER!!! Muackxsxsxs

So both of them graduated and speding holidays in Ipoh and i was having my semester break. We planned this one day trip to Sungkai Hotspring. Despite all the rumours saying that its dangerous to go there without guys, we decided to GO no matter what.

Picture of three of US. 

First stop for breakfast at Kampar. 
This stall which is located at new town of Kampar, nearby the market,  is famous for their fried balls priced at rm0.10. 
Damn cheap right????
Its yummay!!



The fried balls priced at rm0.10. 
nom nom nom

and we shared one bowl of rice noodle with fish balls. 

We packed another 30 balls to feast in the car. 
We had 50 balls in total. 
CRAZY

We had our second stop for breakfast at Bidor. 
This shop is located at the main street of the old road to KL. 
Do not mix up with other shop. This shop is easily recognized because there are a wide variety of famous biscuits sell next door. 



Acting with our drinks. 


Now, the famous food here, duck noodles. 
You can choose soup or dry one but both taste quite good.
However, its a little pricey. 


and wanton mee. 

Then we headed to the Sungkai Hotspring which is located far into the kampung. 
Feasting my eyes on this beautiful green palm tree farm. 

Ta-dah!!!! we reached here successfully!!!

walking under the hot sun and i was the camera-girl. 

Spotted the durian on the tree. Its durian peak season okay. 

The naughty us tempted to knock the durian down so that we can have something extra later. 
Therefore, we used rocks or even coconut to hit the durian but we failed. 
Didn't your parents told you that durian will fall down only when its ripe???  =.=


The little hot river there and you can see smoke coming out!!!

We headed to the cold water first as the weather was really unbearable. 
there are slides here. 
Adult do not have chance to play slides in the park, so, i guess its a good chance to play slides here.


We shouted when we were sliding down and this draw-ed people's attention. 
They gave us the look: Why are these 3 girls so kampung??? seems like never play slides before. 
hmmmmm, yea, we seldom play slides okay????
and since i paid to come in, i must fully utilized the facilities here!!!

we arrived at the hot water pond. =P

So its camwhore time. 
Look at the candid pictures took by the camera. 
all due to the timer that we are using =P
REally LOL
