With the king held in such high regard, it's not proper to have anything negative associated with this day, so there were no funeral services for Nuch's dad on this evening. With some time to ourselves, Nuch and I went to a resort restaurant near Kao San Rd, called Mayompuri.
The place looks 5 star and somewhat out of place compared to the backpacker haven of Kao San Rd. I've been there several times and it's always nearly empty, which makes for a quiet evening out in this usually hectic part of town.
Mayompuri is next to the Temple of the Emerald Buddha and Senam Luang, which is the King's park and is also the location of his annual fireworks show.
Sitting in the courtyard of Mayompuri we had Baghdad, 'shock and awe' view of the fireworks with ash residue dusting our desserts.
Even more amazing - I figured out how to download pictures and video from Nuch's phone to my computer.
Finally, no public festivity is complete without an after party traffic jam.
