OTOP Grand Sale

Today is the start of the OTOP Grand Sale that is held at the Hat Yai Municipality Park. The exhibition is going to start today until the 3rd of August. We're planning to go there this Sunday and see what interesting products they are displaying and selling. I'm sure they will have great design furniture pieces aside from the delicacies and local products in each district.

Songkhla Zoo Revisited

Last Monday we visited to Zoo again together with my brother's family and the kids. The zoo looks the same from the last time we visited it 3 years ago. But it was a bit disappointing to see a lot of sections closed and some animals missing.

Three years ago, the highlight of the trip was the Penguin show and the Tiger feeding show. But unfortunately, the Tiger Section was closed for renovation. The Camel was also nowhere to be found.

Nearing the end of the trip, the kids were already so tired that we didn't enter the Bird's section anymore.

I could see that there are renovation ongoing to improve the zoo facilities. We were also excited to see the construction of the upcoming Songkhla Water Park.

Here are some of the animal photos we took.

Intermission: Investments

What are good investments these days? If you're not a businessman, then it'll be very risky to invest and create a new business. Putting money in time deposit is also very slow and doesn't give big returns.

Well, according to the web release that I've just read. One of the best investments during these times is to buy silver bullion or gold nuggets and ingots. These items can be bought online and securely delivered to you. It has been said that now is the best time to buy and they will indeed bring great returns in the future.

So, you want to invest in something of great value in the future. Then better invest in gold or silver.
