Bangkok street food.
There is one crazy thing I forgot to mention that I learned in Kanchanaburi. Are you sitting down? On January 25, 1942, Thailand declared war on the United States!!! Who knew? And also, huh?
Memories of Burma and Thailand
Bangkok
Bangkok
It is easy to have fun in Bangkok. We started off at a hotel on the city’s Chao Phraya River and got around town in a wooden water taxi that linked to Bangkok’s “BTS,” an above ground train system that is immaculate, fast and cheap.
Khob Khun Ka Siam
I am spending my last three Thailand days in Bangkok because I didn’t get quite enough of it when we were here a few weeks ago. I am staying in a charming guest house located on the canal a few blocks from iconic Khao San Road.
Thai For Two
Unlike the other countries I have visited and most Asian countries, Thailand has never been conquered, colonized or occupied. Thais proudly ascribe their historic independence to strong leaders, which is one reason they are pretty sensitive about the “The King and I”‘s portrayal of very popular King Mongkut, who resisted European colonization in the 19th century.
Land of Smiles
I am in Bangkok, Thailand, the Land of Smiles. Here is the first person who made me smile!
