Before Sunset
(ถนนเฟื่องนคร)
🚧 One of Thailand’s first three roads, built alongside Charoen Krung and Bamrung Mueang in 1863, a milestone in the nation’s urban history.
💍 The road’s character endures through traces of a prosperous past, once shaped by jewelry trade and key printing houses of the capital.
📚 Lamunlit Printing House has become IM En Ville café, a calm spot overlooking Wat Ratchabophit, while Suksit Siam Bookshop continues turning pages for generations of readers.
🏘 Beyond shops and cafés, Fueang Nakhon is lined with lived-in buildings that embody local life and beautifully echo the city’s past prosperity.
Before sunset, the street offers no spectacle — only the quiet grace of time passing.

An invitation to wander an old-city street where layers of time quietly overlap. Once a thriving commercial road, Fueang Nakhon now embraces slowness as a way of life.

Light finds a way

🛣 Familiar to residents of Bangkok Noi, Fai Chai was once a three-way junction. Today, it has been reshaped into a four-way intersection to connect routes toward Phutthamonthon Sai 4.
🚇 Urban transformation has layered the area with roadside shops, an underpass, the Blue Line MRT, and traces of the old Southern Bus Terminal, once a gateway for travelers heading south.
🔦 Fai Chai does not refer to a simple flashlight, but it comes from a powerful searchlight mounted on anti-aircraft guns during the World War II era, used to scan the night sky for enemy planes alongside long-range sound detectors.
🚦 That beam left a lasting mark. As roads expanded and communities grew, the name Fai Chai endured.
The past still shines—preserved in a name we continue to speak.

Cabin Crew Recruitment
(Nok Air)
📆 Nok Air’s recruitment became the first challenge of my year—one I chose to embrace as an opportunity to push myself and rebuild my confidence.
📱 When the announcement appeared on social media, a long-forgotten excitement resurfaced, motivating me to prepare with renewed focus and determination.
🎶 Along the journey, I met P’Bud and New, whose encouragement eased my nerves and reminded me that I was not alone on this path.
🧑🏻💼 While my passion for service was sincere, I struggled with self-confidence when demonstrating my posture and cabin crew walk in front of the committee.

Shortly after the New Year holidays, the cabin crew recruitment season returned once again.
📆 Nok Air’s recruitment became the first challenge of my year—one I chose to embrace as an opportunity to push myself and rebuild my confidence.
📱 When the announcement appeared on social media, a long-forgotten excitement resurfaced, motivating me to prepare with renewed focus and determination.
Careful planning became essential
, from completing the application and meeting the English test requirements to maintaining a professional appearance.
🎶 Along the journey, I met P’Bud and New, whose encouragement eased my nerves and reminded me that I was not alone on this path.
🧑🏻💼 While my passion for service was sincere, I struggled with self-confidence when demonstrating my posture and cabin crew walk in front of the committee.
This experience reminded me that
true growth begins when confidence is tested
—and I am determined to return stronger and better prepared than before.

#backyardstories
📱 About a year ago, I got to know a man through social media. I usually don’t accept friend requests from people I don’t know, but I made an exception this time because we had mutual friends.
💬 It didn’t take long to discover that Ling Haitao, a Chinese friend, had graduated from a university in Russia—just like me. Even more surprising was the fact that he was working in Thailand and spoke Thai fluently.
🎼 Our conversations flowed easily across a wide range of topics, from everyday life and Chinese work culture to Russian learning, photography, and music.
🎹 It was through the piano that I truly got to know him. Among the short performances videos he shared, my favorite was a gentle instrumental version of Chrysanthemum Terrace (菊花台) by Jay Chou (video 4).
Sometimes, a piano played by a stranger can feel closer than words from people we know. Has music ever made a stranger feel close to you?

Every Journey Rewarded
(เกาะรัตนโกสินทร์)
🇷🇺 Our Russian friend Misha recently met us in Thailand during his exchange program at Thammasat University from MGIMO. I felt the same excitement I had years ago when we first met.
🗺 We planned a day around Rattanakosin Island and its historic neighborhoods, hoping to experience another facet of the capital.
☕️ A small café on Fueang Nakhon Road became our refuge from the heat. Over coffee, stories unfolded, old memories blending with new ones.
By sunset, I understood something simple: journeys become meaningful not because of where we go, but because of who walks beside us.

Reuniting with an old friend after years apart feels like opening a time capsule — familiar, yet full of surprises.
🇷🇺 Our Russian friend Misha recently met us in Thailand during his exchange program at Thammasat University from MGIMO. I felt the same excitement I had years ago when we first met.
Golden temple spires shimmered against the afternoon sky, while the steady hum of tuk-tuks and the distant chime of temple bells drifted through the warm air.

Bangkok had changed in his eyes — sleeker, busier — yet its spirit remained unmistakably the same.
