ooh wow, i haven’t been here in far too long! i’ve never been to thailand, even though i’m just about 500km away from the border. and i am willing to teach you how to say “i admire your blue tortoise” in thai. =) we once abandoned learning malay in class and instead got my friend to teach us all redundant thai phrases.

The Spice Market, in the Four Seasons Hotel. TBH, I don’t remember how good it was, because it’s been about fifteen years, but I do remember the kleenex.

Ted Lemon asks: Have you been to any restaurants where a box of kleenex comes with dinner yet?

All our attempts to eat at such retaurants have been foiled by Scott’s vegetarianism. We’ve yet to find one that will feed him.

Fortunately, there are such restaurants in Sydney.

Rebecca: Skytrain . . .looks cool from the outside. but frighteningly reminiscent of city buses on the inside.

Is much more glam than a bus. More comfy too and much faster. And the views are wonderful. I love me the skytrain.

I *love* Thailand. And som tom! Are there still women walking around in the streets wearing huge wooden yokes, with baskets hanging down on either side? When I was there, they made the best som tom, as well as great street theatre. . .

Tuk tuks didn’t bother me too much, but I much preferred the buses. Or walking. Got to see so much more that way.

Have fun!

i agree with scott about the tuk-tuks…they look very awesome. although the petrol is a downside.

Tuk tuks are kind of fun when you’re tired, but I’m right there with you on the exhaust thing. There’s a sky train in Bangkok now? Cool!

Oh I LOVED Thailand. There is such awesome street food there. The tastiest, most tender awesome squid I ever had was at this food stall near my hostel. The spring rolls, the coconut juices, the Thai Ice Teas…yumm…
