Street Food

Here's some pics, but not the aromas, vitality, and tastes...
The street-food culture here is incredibly sophisticated, cheap, attractive, diverse, and everywhere.  Hands down the best Thai food I've had in my life.  I can guarantee that I won't ever cook anything while in Bangkok...  

















lots of restaurants are either on the street or half on the street:









AROI MAK ! (Very Delicious!)

The King and I

The first Bday festivities for the King...  Singing, candles, and dramatic lighting: 

















1st Pics

 Xmas trees in Thailand!
made out of straws...
and snow...
 and the new Krispy Kreme Donuts (and lines around the block for them).....................
 and more snow (although it's about 85 degrees F)...
 A buddhaful Buddha:
 and some elephants:
 and more stunning Buddhas (they have a serious presence here)...
 cool phone (a monument to communication):
And the controversial "Victory Monument" (+ my skytrain stop - you can see the elevated track):
shumai heaven...
 a typical corner...
 waiting for a skytrain (never seen such patience in a city):
 the bus:
my whole neighborhood looks like this:
 some HS kids in uniforms
 checking out the cool cuffs:
and cool trees

BTW, plug in at your own risk:
and good luck!

safer to just go for an expert massage

 And did you know Mad Max was Thai?
