Hello Bangkok

We dropped off the rental car at the airport in Chiang Rai and took the one hour and ten minute Air Asia flight to Bangkok. I know I have said this in the past but flying into Bangkok reminds me of flying into the Bronx in New York.

The Christmas decorations were up in the tourist areas. That is pretty cool considering 95 percent of the people in Thailand are Buddhist.

I am sure you have heard of the alligators in the New York sewers. Well, New York does not have anything on Bangkok. The lizard in this picture is about six to eight foot long.

Daeng says they are good to eat and TASTE LIKE CHICKEN!

Daeng has never had a typical American Thanksgiving Dinner so Dana at the Road House BBQ invited us for Thanksgiving Dinner.

It was a great meal but it was not the same as sitting around the table with family.

A few days of shopping for Daeng and resting for me and we're back on the plane for the Looonnnngggggg trip back to the USA.

Myself, I enjoy the Kebab that can be found on Soi 7 on Sukhamvit.

We are both feeling pretty good and looking forward to being with my side of the family for a few months.

We will say good-bye to Bangkok tomorrow. We leave here at 5:15 Pm and arrive in Los Angeles at 7:15 PM, yes two hours later.

We are in the air 17 hours, no wonder our brains get jet-lag.
