Wat Arun

Written by

Wat Arun is a largest Pagoda (Buddhist Temple) in Bangkok. Wat Arun means the Temple of the Rising Sun. It is situated on the Banks of the River Chao Phraya. The best way to reach Wat Arun is by Water Taxi.

I used to stay in Thanon Surawong  which is the opposite bank as that of Wat Arun. From our hotel (Hotel New Peninsula), I walked down to the General Post Office. From there, I took a water taxi to reach Wat Arun.

Am basically a programmer. Have proved to myself and quite a few people over the 24+ years that I am capable of programming on most platforms using quite a few tools for most problems. However, to be viable for earning a living, have learnt a few tricks and techniques of management. Whatever management techniques I have learnt, I try and convert to simple logic flows to keep my decision process simple and transparent. While managing, have been successful in programming a few individuals and teams to meet required objectives. Though I am not creative, I have enormous potential to innovate and extend creative ideas generated and shared by others.
