Another day out and about. Started off with a much-needed massage. That was one thing I was really missing on my trip to Canada. The place I went to today is a bit upscale compared to many places here, but the prices are in line with the cheaper places, so that’s nice. This massage place has a few cats hanging around and it’s obvious they have a pretty good life … [Read more...] about Yuzu Ramen – Icon Siam – Bangkok, Thailand

British Bike Meet – The Bikers Cafe – Sattahip, Thailand
This past weekend I decided to head down to Sattahip, just south of Pattaya, to The Bikers Cafe for the British Bike Meet on Sunday.

It was so busy that they’d almost completely shut down Yaowarat Road, which is normally a very busy one-way road. There may have been one lane open, and it was really … [Read more...] about Chinese New Year – Yaowarat Road – China Town – Bangkok, Thailand
Day 11a – Hall of Opium – Golden Triangle – Thailand
(from our Christmas holiday in northern Thailand. Catching up!) On my last trip to the Golden Triangle I went to the Golden Triangle Park Hall of Opium, a museum dedicated to the history, cultivation, and usage of opium in Southeast Asia, viewed through a Thai lens.
