We started this adventure in Hanoi, and after a dozen other locations and what has felt much, much longer than nearly three months, we are now in our last city, Bangkok. It’s fitting that we are ending this journey in the place that was our introduction to Southeast Asia a little over two years ago, when we fell head over heels for Thailand, and especially … Continue reading From Hanoi to Bangkok in eighty days

Unsurprisingly, our last few days back in Bangkok involved lots of food, as we attempted to fit in all the flavors and aromas we love about Thailand before heading home to Boston. More details later, but here are a few snaps to whet your appetite… Continue reading More glimpses of Bangkok

January 6, day 90, Bangkok. Two popular sights for tourists to check out when visiting Thailand are the Maeklong train market, and one of several floating markets.

These four … Continue reading Where to begin?

And, seeing as here in Boston we are in the midst of our third nor’easter in the past 10 days, revisiting … Continue reading Chiang Mai: one day, two delicious meals
Once again, I am woefully behind in keeping up with posting about our travels. In my defense, a couple of local trips with family & friends intervened. But now, back to Thailand… A couple of months ago, I wrote about our first few days in Bangkok, where we stayed in Chinatown, a section of that city we both really enjoyed, not least for the amazing street food. On … Continue reading Elephants & Lanterns
