of Chinatown and Palaces










We took the new Skytrain service to Suhvanaphoumi airport to meet our friend John who is a retired photography professor, frequent sailor and wooden boat builder.  Our job was to find him some wooden boat builders in Bangkok.  Which we did, (see next post) after seeing Chinatown in all its bright red and gold New Year's colors.  And relaxing at the still crumbling Hotel Atlanta and going to the Grand Palace on the Chao Praya River express and trying to find River City, an upscale furniture/antique shopping center on the, you guessed it, the Chao Praya River.

Happy Year of the Rabbit!

Are we having fun yet?




Only in Thailand do you have live orchids as hood ornaments!

River City?  Here...no...here...no...where?
