eat, drink, and eat some more... the appropriate title for this trip
thai food is simply amazing! spring rolls, red curry, green curry, pineapple rice, sweet and sour chicken... love. it. all.
so dirk and i did a culinary tour of bangkok as well as took in some of the sights. i will have to say we learned many important life lessons while in the gregarious city of bangkok!
one thing we learned:
corona is the world's most popular beer! it is everywhere!
and yes, we found all the great neighborhood bars and stopped in each one for a beer and thai food
the weekend market was insane... too overwhelming..........................
even for the most experienced third world country shoppers!
we checked out this restaurant that one of my colleagues who lived in bangkok recommended. strange name but it has a theme in order to promote education on AIDS and has its own charity.
cabbages & condoms
people made out of condoms
the food and drinks were awesome!
got condoms? came with your bill
tiger woods?learned that tiger is famous world wide... i wonder if he was here before or after his expose' debut?
the decor! made out of condoms...
on to the grand palace... but first, river boat ride
this place was ridiculously ornate and detailed in gold and jewels
doing something for luck? i was too hot and ready to go to humor the emerald buddha with luck.
oh and the emerald buddha isn't emerald... he is made out of jade
what you can't see in these pictures... we had to be covered from arms to knees... it was so steaming hot as well...
learned that bangkok has a large population of stray dogs with rabies, people use their children to beg on every street corner (trust me, I-10 beggers have nothing on these peoples techniques, would bring you to tears), we need to get out of singapore more often... bangkok seemed like the biggest city we have been to in over a year.

Pictures are awesome! That condom restaurant is hilarious- a great place for a first date, perhaps?!
