Just a sneak peek at what we are seeing today. It’s one of my favourite temples in Thailand, Wat Somdet Phu Ruea. We just finished going through it and headed to a coffee shop I had been to before. I sat down and realized this place had a view of the Wat. My camera and long lens was back in the car.

Food and Flowers
It has been a busy couple of days here in my new home in Bangkok. I got my home office set up with a desk and chair from IKEA, got some work done and had a meeting at the end of the day.
