"One night in Bangkok ..."

"... and the world's your (stinky, smog-choked, and sizzlingly hot) oyster." Here's the first wave of pictures from our voyage through Thailand -- starting with (putrid, possibly-tubercular, and best-not-ingested) Bangkok. Pictured here are (a) shrine-ette at the our friend Jim Thompson's house, (b) fast (Vietnamese) food at the mall ... yummy, (c) Thai ties (and cheap, too), (d) lyrical Thai graffiti, (e) orchids as far as the eye can see (in this big bowl, at least), (f) our best buddy Jim's garden, (g) sky-train in trendy downtown, (h) slums & highrises.
We spent a few days in Bangkok before heading north to Sukhothai. More on Bangkok to follow ...
