<div style="height:50px" aria-hidden="true" class="wp-block-spacer"></div>



<p class="has-text-align-center"><strong>PRO</strong></p>



<p><strong>At Hug Elephant Sanctuary, I had the opportunity to meet and play with elephants in their natural habitat. It was my first time to feed and bathe these majestic animals.</strong></p>



<p><strong>It felt nice to support the welfare of elephants and livelihood of local Thai village people.</strong></p>



<p><strong>We received cute elephant souvenirs to take home at the end of the day.</strong></p>



<div style="height:50px" aria-hidden="true" class="wp-block-spacer"></div>



<p class="has-text-align-center"><strong>長所</strong></p>



<p><strong>ハグエレファントサンクチュアリでは、自然の生息地でゾウと出会い、遊ぶ機会がありました。 これらの大きな動物に餌を与えて水浴びするのは初めてでした。</strong></p>



<p><strong>象の福祉と地元のタイの村の人々の生活をサポートできて嬉しかったです。</strong></p>



<p><strong>一日の終わりには、かわいい象の形をしたキーホルダーのお土産を受け取りました</strong></p>



<div style="height:50px" aria-hidden="true" class="wp-block-spacer"></div>



<div class="wp-block-image"><figure class="aligncenter size-large"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" width="678" height="904" src="https://rachelleng.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/03/elephant_sanctuary_bf49.jpg" alt="" class="wp-image-4413" srcset="https://rachelleng.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/03/elephant_sanctuary_bf49.jpg 678w, https://rachelleng.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/03/elephant_sanctuary_bf49-225x300.jpg 225w" sizes="(max-width: 678px) 100vw, 678px" /></figure></div>



<div style="height:50px" aria-hidden="true" class="wp-block-spacer"></div>



<p class="has-text-align-center"><strong>***</strong></p>



<p class="has-text-align-center"><strong>CON</strong></p>



<p><strong>At times, I could not help feeling like we were paying to do the work of the elephant owners and caretakers (who followed us throughout the day and simply sat on the side and watched us)!</strong></p>



<p><strong>Additionally, the ride to and from the sanctuary was extremely bumpy and we were not warned that we would travel the entire way (about 1.5 hours) from the hotel by TRUCK.</strong></p>



<div style="height:50px" aria-hidden="true" class="wp-block-spacer"></div>



<p class="has-text-align-center"><strong>短所</strong></p>



<p><strong>時々、象の飼い主とその仕事をする世話人のためにお金を払っているような気分になりました（彼らは一日中私たちに付き添い、単に横に座って私たちを見でいました）！</strong></p>



<p><strong>さらに、サンクチュアリへの往復は非常にでこぼこ道で、ホテルからトラックで長い時間（約1.5時間）移動するという忠告はありませんでした。</strong></p>



<p class="has-text-align-center"><strong>*~*~*~*</strong></p>



<div style="height:50px" aria-hidden="true" class="wp-block-spacer"></div>



<p><strong>Overall, however, it was a great experience, and a fulfilling day! Definitely a worthwhile trip.</strong></p>



<p><strong>全体として、ハグエレファントサンクチュアリは素晴らしい経験であり、充実した一日でした！</strong></p>

<h2 class="has-text-align-center wp-block-heading" id="sra-bua-by-kiin-kiin"><strong>SRA BUA by KIIN KIIN</strong></h2>


<p>Sra Bua by Kiin Kiin, the renowned modern Thai restaurant, has been awarded a prestigious One Star rating by Michelin – the global hotel and restaurant reference guide.&nbsp;The restaurant is well known for its fine dining Thai-inspired dishes created and presented with impressive modern interpretation. Sra Bua by Kiin Kiin was conceptualised by world-famous chef Henrik Yde Andersen whose Kiin Kiin restaurant in Copenhagen is one of the world’s very few Thai restaurants with Michelin star rating.&nbsp;</p>

<div style="height:50px" aria-hidden="true" class="wp-block-spacer"></div>



<p>We had the 8-course meal priced at&nbsp;THB 3,200++. (About USD$100).&nbsp;It was my first time at a fine dining Thai restaurant. The presentation of each dish was stunning and the flavours were bold. At times, however, I felt that the Thai spices used were too overpowering. Nonetheless, the meal was very innovative.&nbsp;&nbsp;Since its inception, Sra Bua has been praised by foodies for its unique cuisine that marries Thai-inspired modern cuisine with Western cooking techniques.&nbsp;Head Chef Chayawee invites guests to enjoy an extraordinary culinary performance as he choreographs, with his team, an amazing array of basic Thai ingredients taken from original recipes to create modern interpretations in daring combinations. The familiar flavours of traditional Thai dishes are well maintained in every exquisitely composed food presentation, prepared using global cooking techniques.</p>

<ul class="wp-block-list"><li>Nice restaurant with beautiful decor and innovative Thai fusion cuisine.</li><li>Worth a stop when in Bangkok for a completely different fine dining experience!&nbsp;</li><li>Siam Kempinski Hotel is a beautiful venue and we enjoyed walking around the place before and after dinner. (The Hotel Lounge &amp; Bar is right opposite the Sra Bua restaurant entrance, making it a very convenient location for after-dinner drinks.)&nbsp;</li><li>Sometimes, Thai spices and flavours were a bit overpowering, making the dishes less complex.&nbsp;</li></ul>

<p>最近、京都へ出張するために、のぞみ新幹線を乗りました。特に印象深かった思い出の理由は、初めて乗った新幹線でした。</p>



<p>朝9：０７時の新幹線なので、品川駅に行く時、通勤ラッシュの時間帯だから、大変混んでいました。びっくりしました…冗談レベルの混雑さでした！それで、人々は品川駅の港南口から新幹線の北口までゾンビのように歩いているのはちょっと怖かったです！皆は凄く静かに、無表情な顔として、本当に人間じゃなくて、ロボットやゾンビのように行進しました…　こんな感じ→</p>



<div style="height:50px" aria-hidden="true" class="wp-block-spacer"></div>



<div class="wp-block-image"><figure class="aligncenter size-large"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" width="900" height="675" src="https://rachelleng.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/04/rachel_leng_shinagawa_interview_148fe.jpg" alt="" class="wp-image-6921" srcset="https://rachelleng.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/04/rachel_leng_shinagawa_interview_148fe.jpg 900w, https://rachelleng.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/04/rachel_leng_shinagawa_interview_148fe-300x225.jpg 300w, https://rachelleng.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/04/rachel_leng_shinagawa_interview_148fe-768x576.jpg 768w" sizes="(max-width: 900px) 100vw, 900px" /></figure></div>



<div style="height:50px" aria-hidden="true" class="wp-block-spacer"></div>



<p>面白いことは、後で調べると、品川駅や他の駅の混雑予報というウェブサイトもあります。駅に行く前に、<a href="http://tipstour.net/other/6517" target="_blank" aria-label=" (opens in a new tab)" rel="noreferrer noopener external" class="rank-math-link" data-wpel-link="external">通勤ラッシュを避ける</a>ために、是非チェックしてみてください：<a href="https://www.navitime.co.jp/congestion/prediction/" target="_blank" aria-label=" (opens in a new tab)" rel="noreferrer noopener external" class="rank-math-link" data-wpel-link="external">https://www.navitime.co.jp/congestion/prediction/</a>）　</p>



<p>新幹線の乗り場を着きました時、驚いたことは３～４分ごと京都へ行ける電車がありました。同じルートを使いたい人はそんなにたくさんいますか？とても便利ですが、ちょっと過度すぎるでしょう？</p>



<p>初めて新幹線に乗るのなので、早めにホームへ行ってどの新幹線に乗るのか確認しておいた方が良いと思っているので、そうしました。</p>



<p>電車に乗ると、車窓の景色を見るのが楽しみなので、新幹線でも流れる景色を見ながら駅で買ったお弁当を食べて、京都へ向かいました。　浜名湖と富士山の景色は新幹線で私が特に好きなのでした。</p>



<p class="has-text-align-left">速くて安心、安全に目的地へ運んでくれる新幹線は、私の大好きな乗り物の一つです。<br>これからも是非利用したいと思っています。</p>



<p>本日も読んで頂きありがとうございました～　＝）</p>
