After a very long first week being fully scheduled day to day with meetings and activities, the team and I were able to make a progress in finalizing the statement of work and had it signed by our client in IOMX. We are now in the process of building a business case to develop, market and sustain the mobile app. The main goal of the mobile app solution is prevent exploitation for migrant domestic workers in Thailand, Singapore, Hong Kong and other Asian countries.
I really enjoyed my first day off exploring Bangkok! My sub team and I took the BTS (Bangkok Train Station) and then used the ferry boat to reach the Grand palace. It is the most touristic attraction in the city. The palace has been the official residence of the kings of Siam and truly a spectacular site to explore. We then visited Wat Pho (Temple of the Reclining Buddha), the marble temple and Wat Saket which is also known as The Golden Mountain. The only problem we had was the extreme heat, humidity and the crowds, but it was very well worth it as the sites were astonishing.
