The taste of Winning in Thailand Swan Boat Race
Posted On Wednesday, September 24, 2008 at at Wednesday, September 24, 2008 by daddy
Day 4 in Bangkok, second day in the race. Due to heavy rain, we continue our race today to compete with Thai A. As planned, we lost to Thai A and go to loser group and compete with Hong Kong Team Again (which we won in the first race)
While in loser group, it a knockout race. if you lose, then you lose. Hong Kong team gave us a good challenge but we knocked them out. Then we move up the chart to meet the next winner in loser group. As analysis, we meet up our number 1 rival team, pacific west when they knockout another Hong Kong team. This race is to determine who get at least 70000 baht back home.
Without explaining much, let look at the video to find out yourself:
After the race, we just have short period of time to rest before going for next race to meet back the Thai A team once they lose to Myammar in winner group. Due to short notice, we're pull by motor boat to the starting point <----special priviledge huh!!! :-D if we win this round, we'll meet Thai C which team lose to Myammar in Winner group. As you see Ah Tan already bath:
and the clothes also drying up
and people are resting and chatting
you know we're not make it to the final. So the grand final for 20th Thailand International Swan Boat Race will be Myammar Vs Thai A. For us, it free and easy time while waiting for the celebration dinner to held here at the same place at 6.00pm

Right after the prize giving ceremony and closing of 20th Thailand International Swan Boat Race 2008, the wind and rain strike as usual. this time the canopy was patch. However, the rain is really heavy and i never see such a heavy rain combine with Wind. Luckily we learned and cover ourself in the center.
