Friends in Bangkok, Thailand

When you're on the road as long we are, it's nice to have that feeling of ease and familiarity. For us that place is Bangkok - we funnel through it so often. And seeing familiar faces in foreign places makes all the difference! This time we met up with my friend Mandy from Portland who was visiting her friends who live here. Not only that, but our friend Paul (who we met in China) coordinated his life in Thailand so that he would coincide with us too. We visited a few of the must-see temples along the river (here we're making fun of the big statues at Wat Arun). And then of course, no visit to Bangkok would be complete without a cocktail at the very posh rooftop Vertigo bar on the 62nd floor of the Banyan Tree Hotel. Very nice!

Later on in the week we caught up with other friends - our tailor-tout buddies Veejay and Aran, and then friends Nina and Scott, and Claire and Ralph and their new baby, Ella. All in all it was a really pleasant Bangkok stop! *Mush
