Koh Lana restaurant

Bangkok - After our meeting we went to this impressive and grandeur restaurant - Koh Lana restaurant which was very near to the airport.   I could literally see planes landing every 5 minutes - making Suvarnabhumi airport one of the busiest in the world.

Entrance to the restaurant
The owners of this restaurant must love horses as it was represented everywhere around this huge landscape restaurant.

Crab dish
This restaurant food falls badly behind the grandeur appearance and the only dish I like was this crab dish.

Museum of Meralco

Manila - Meralco is one of the largest power grid in Philippines and supply electricity to most of Manila and Great Manila.   After lunch with some of the staff of Meralco, I visited their museum which is situated on the ground floor of their building.  They started out as a Rail company and then diversified into the largest utility company in Philippines.
