Children friendly spot - LeoLand Rooftop Waterparks

Just like other big cities, Bangkok has many to offer for family with young children. It has many parks with playgrounds, theme parks, museums, indoor playground even a rooftop water slides.

This time I'll share about LeoLand, a waterpark in the rooftop of Central BangNa. This shopping center is big and has easy access from Bangna express way. However, it's actually not in the heart of Bangkok city. It took about half hour from the main bustling area of bangkok by car through express way (pay 45 bath for this road). Or you can take skytrain till the last station On Nut and get a cab from there for less than 100 baht if the road is clear.

Once you are in the mall, go straight to the highest floor the elevator can get you and you can only take escalator to the very end floor.. the rooftop. It sounds like a journey itself to reach this medium size waterparks, but I'd say if you're not into extreme slides, this is the place. The entrance fee between thai and foreigners is significantly different. If you're asian and knows a bit of thai language, they'll give you local price which is verrry cheap.


They offer several water play and pool. The one for children is fun and has a real shallow depth and a bit sandy. In the children playpool area you can see several slides, waterbooms and they also provide a lot of lazy plastic chair (for free) under the shades for you to watch your children. I saw they have at least 1 dedicated guard to watch over the kids during play. For children 3 yr and up, its a totally safe area. 

Beside the kiddy one, they have spa pool, medium pool with wide slide, couple of pools for spiral slides end, jacuzzi pool and river-like pool. Going here in the afternoon when the sun is not hitting your skin badly would be the best time. The view is the sky and toll road plus building surrounds it. Feels different though. 





I noticed in the past time they also a nice roller coaster from inside theme parks (still within the same building) that go trough and around this waterparks. Too bad it's no longer operated. However, the remaining area of the theme park filled with rides that your tots would enjoy.

LeoLand understand that some people may not planned carefully of going to waterpark. They not only rent floaties but also swimming gears. Other shops here are food shop where you need to buy voucher to purchase the food. But, I wasn't really impressed with the food quality. Since it's not restricted to brink your own picnic bag, ensure you have your own favorite nibble or dishes to bring along. Or simply get them in the outlets inside the mall before entering this place.

    I seen in the overdue they also a awesome journey from within areas (still within the same building) that go trough and around this waterparks. Too bad it's no more managed. However, the staying area of the amusement recreation area loaded with trips that your children would appreciate.

Mendarat di Bandara Luar Negeri Tanpa Bingung

Image
Kalau di part 1 saya nulis tentang proses keberangkatan (departure) sekarang kita bahas proses kedatangan (arrival). Sekali lagi saya tekankan bahwa di semua bandara prosesnya sama secara umum. yang membuat semua terasa ribet hanya karena bandaranya besar atau negara tersebut punya tingkat 'parno' lebih atas sesuatu. Misalnya di Korea sedang ada wabah virus, maka semua pendatang harus mengisi pernyataan kesehatan saat tiba. Atau di Perth yang parno dengan barang bawaan pendatang, maka pemeriksaan bagasi bisa lebih mendetail. Hal lain yang membuat banyak orang takut saat tiba di bandara luar negeri (selain takut tersesat) adalah pengisian aneka formulir. Apalagi jika merasa kemampuan bahasa Inggris 'nol' atau pas-pasan. Untuk itu sebenarnya tidak perlu kursus bahasa Inggris khusus, tapi diingat saja istilah-istilahnya. Karena akan mirip di semua negara. Pada dasarnya proses Arrival (kedatangan) di bandara Internasional adalah :  Periksa Paspor ---> Ambil bar

Aturan Imigrasi Thailand Untuk Long Term Stay

Image
Saya menemukan informasi mengenai aturan keimigrasian Thailand di beberapa poin pengurusan berbeda-beda. Yang saya maksud poin adalah kantor imigrasi di dalam wilayah kerajaan Thailand dan kedutaan serta konsular Thailand di luar negara tersebut.  Karena suami bekerja di kantor swasta lokal yang smua diurus sendiri, jadilah saya ikutan belajar smua aturan ini. Untungnya, saya udah biasa ngurus aneka surat-surat sendiri dan gerilya sana sini. Tapi menjadi tamu di negeri orang, rasanya lebih beruntung orang-orang yang gak seperti saya jadi tau beres saja. Moga-moga sharing ini berguna buat yang butuh. Pengajuan visa sebagai turis Thailand di Indonesia dapat dilakukan di konsular mereka di Denpasar dan Jakarta. Tapi pengajuan visa lainnya hanya bisa dilakukan di Jakarta. Pemegang paspor Indonesia dapat masuk ke dalam wilayah Thailand tanpa mengajukan visa dan memperoleh izin tinggal selama 30 hari  (di cap di bandara maupun pos perbatasan darat lainnya). Dengan visa turis yang diper

Drama Goblin (lokasi syuting dan pernak pernik).

Image
Meskipun sesungguhnya ada kesempatan untuk nge-gap kru drama ini lagi syuting di Seoul, plus lokasi-lokasinya sudah terlacak dengan tepat, tetapi karena satu dan lain hal, tidak bisa terlaksana. Yah, memang sudah takdir hanya ketemu para oppa kece ini di layar kaca, saya pasrah. Semangat dan energi bergoblin-goblin kita salurkan dengan mendokumentasinya beberapa tempat syuting sepenuh hati plus mengkoleksi memorabilia berbau Goblin. 1. Rumah Goblin dan Grim Reaper Yang kita perlu tahu, banyak drama korea yang luar dan dalamnya bangunan bisa beda. Ya rumah, ya kantor, ya sekolah... apalah. Termasuk rumah Goblin ini. Tampilan luarnya disyuting di Deoksung Women's University. Deket banget dari Insadong. Masih bisa jalan kaki dari Gyeongbokgung/Bukchon. Turun di subway station : Anguk, line 3, exit 4. Pintu masuk ke Deoksung University ada di samping gerbang Unhyeonggung. Bagian belakang bangunan ini sudah bisa terlihat dari jauh, saat masuk gerbang Unhyeonggung. Bisa cek ala
