Anniversary and Mother Day's celebration at X2 in Kanchanaburi- 10 May 2015

This year, we celebrate my first Mother's Day at X2 in Kanchanaburi, a surprise from my hubby. My Hubby posted some sweet message for me in Facebook:

I am very very touched by my hubby's post in Facebook which I have never expected it from him, if you know him. I will cry each time I read this post till now. We have been though a lot of changes from 2 of us to parents. It is not an easy journey for us as we are alone in Thailand taking care of Adam with not much knowledge about baby.

We also have learnt more about ourselves over these years that my hubby actually care and adore me a lot. I still remember what hubby said when we quarrel once: " His priority has never change before and after I give birth to Adam, is always You and Adam."

I am very guilty about this, as I have placed Adam in my top priority after I give birth. And worse I always want my rest after Adam sleep at 8pm and left hubby watch TV by himself and never spend much time with him.

After that quarrel, I have change to care more about him and spend more times together as an couple after Adam sleep.

At x2 resort River Kwai, the view of the Kwai Noi river is so beautiful that you will fall in love at the first sight. There is a big swimming pool with direct access to hotel room which is so convenience. The staff there is very friendly even though we just went to their restaurant.

We tried the food there, is very yummy for all the dishes we order and the price is not very expensive. If you have extra time after Bangkok, you may visit here for a relax short trip.

     

Baby tips: Romper or 2 pieces for baby

Some tips to share with new mother-to-be after 6 months taking care of my baby by ourselves without our mothers' supervision..

Some people may be thinking if baby romper or 2 pieces set is better for our baby. When baby wearing 2 pieces it tend to come out easily from their pant when we carry them and their tummy will be exposed. It will not be good for younger baby as they will catch cold easily. If they are in romper, the romper (match with a pant) will hold in place as there are buttons at the bottom and that save the trouble to tuck in for them again and again.

Conrad Bangkok (9 April 2015)

When we entered the hotel, they greeted us with their big smile and helped us immediately with our luggage. The check-in is very fast and the receptionist is very friendly and helpful with our enquiries. 

Conrad hotel is more woody finishing and it gives us the cosy feel. They have spacious bedroom with walk-in wardrobe and big toilet and big comfortable bed which Adam fall asleep instantly on the bed at night. Beside that, they do provide fruits daily which not a lot of hotel do that.

Beside this hotel is an office building with 1 or 2 levels of retail space and supermarket. This hotel provide shuttle bus to the nearest Phloen Chit BTS as the BTS is about 15 min walk from the hotel.

Hilton Sukhumvit Bangkok (29-31 March 2015)

We love this hotel very much as the location is very near to Phrom Phong BTS and a new shopping mall call EMQUARTIER. There are a lot of massage spa shop along the way and even more after the hotel which you may explore.

The staffs at Hilton are very friendly and greet us warmly. When we enter the room, it is bright and reasonable size with study table, big shower area (separate shower and bathtub). The bed is quite comfortable with plush pillow.

Grande Centre Point Hotel Ploenchit (28 February - 1 March 2015)

This time we came to Bangkok because Adam will be having his 3 vaccinates on the next day. We enjoy ourselves at Siam Paragon before Adam cry out loud the next day.

We bought ourselves a new Egrobaby carrier with nice prints chosen by Daddy.. He wants to look cool in the new carrier. I need to admit this carrier is quite comfortable when carrying Adam so is a good investment for us.

This time we stayed in Grande Centre Point Hotel Ploenchit which is nearer to the hospital. The check-in was fast and they upgraded our room too. The room is spacious with a living room with a small dining table and also a small pantry with microwave oven. Most important, the room is clean and bright. After that night, I love their bed, so comfortable. A good rest for 3 of us. 

Adam is so comfortable on the bed.

After check out, we went to hospital for Adam's vaccination, he cried out loud and stopped right after the 3rd injection, our brave boy. He fall asleep in his car seat during the journey back home.

Baby first holiday at Hansar Pranburi (24 Dec 2014 - 2 January 2015)

Is time to start writing my blog after several months taking care of Adam without Mums' help. Beside writing my holiday in Pranburi and hotel stay in Bangkok, will also share some baby tips to the readers.

In December 2014, we went to Hansar Pranburi to spend our Christmas and New Year there and it was also Adam's first holiday. The journey to Hansar Pranburi is quite tough as the road from Pranburi city to the hotel is quite bumpy (road still constructing) or you can choose to drive on the beach when is low tide around afternoon.  

When we arrived the resort, the staffs were very friendly, they greeted us warmly and made us feel like home. They do speak English so communication should not be a problem. Our Baby Adam is as one of main attraction as they always played with him when we were out of our room. 

The resort location is very remote so you can enjoy the quiet and peaceful environment and beach. The beach is not those fine sandy kind, there are a lot of tiny seashell so can be quite painful to walk with our barefoot.

The service at the resort is very good (they provided us either a fruit platter or dessert platter together with our meal and helped us with our baby pram and bags when we returned from our day trip). Their food menu is mainly Thai cuisine with limited choices but is delicious. 

Our bunglow sea view is quite big for a family of 3 (a king bed and a single bed) and it look actually the same as the photo on the website. Their housekeeping need to improve as they don't use vacuum cleaner so is still a bit dusty after the cleaning.  

It is really a good getaway for us to spend quality time as Mike was so busy with work since Adam born. This is the bonding time for the father and son. And for me I don't have to do housework for 10 days, super relax for me..

Merry Christmas while Adam sleeping in his pram...

If you have extra time in Bangkok, you may like to spend 3 days here to relax before you go back home.. Is worth to come here to slack and do nothing.
