Tater Tots


A new American-style diner has opened in Bangkok, and Nuch has discovered her newest favorite American food - a staple of every elementary school cafeteria lunch, Tater Tots




Here's me with what is left of my French Dip.  Notice the Juke Box at the table.

The Price Is Right

When did Bob Barker leave The Price is Right and when did Drew Carey get hair and why didn't anyone tell me.

Breakfast With The Birds

These birds came to join us one morning while we had breakfast near Waikiki Beach

Jax Beach Sunrise

Wish Tree At Siam Square

This is my last overdue Christmas 2012 post.

Here is the Siam Square Wishmas Tree where people could fill out little cards with hopes, prayers, and wishes and hang them on the tree.


Some people asked that Thais and people of the world could love each other and find unity forever.


Others were more practical and asked that their family be happy, warm, lucky, and rich.

Oahu Mountain Pass



Morning On Waikiki

My flight landed at 630 am, and I was at the hotel by 8 am.  

I couldn't check in until noon, so I took a walk on the beach.






After a walk up and down the beach I still had plenty of time to kill, so I took a nap underneath this tree.


Red Ant Delicacies

Nuch and I stopped for lunch at a Northeastern Thai restaurant recently. 

After checking the menu, I had to take a second look.  Fortunately, their specialty that particular day was Red Ant Eggs, and not what I first thought was being graphically represented on their menu board.

Oldest Car In Bangkok






Guard Cat

Guard a little, stretch a little...



Over-Joyed

A night on Kao San Rd with a co-worker from the UK - after way too many buckets of Joy.

When Thai To English Phonetics Go Wrong

Miss Puke would probably be better off spelling her name Pookie.



View From Above

Some old pics from a quick flight to Singapore and back to Bangkok.  It was during the Swine Flu outbreak, so there weren't many passengers.

Movie Night

Nuch and I went to see our first movie in over a year.  We had the choice of Prometheus and Madagascar 3




Of course, we decided to see Madagascar 3



More Feet

Sticking with the feet theme, Nuch and I had some visitors last week. My friend Stewart of noodle shop fame needed to visit the UK embassy to get a visa for his wife and passport for his newborn son, and I invited him to spend the night with us.

In typical Isaan fashion, the grandma, aunt, and cousin came along, and being being polite, as they are, they took their shoes off in front of the house.

Back To Chaiyahpum


Pictures from a trip to Chaiyaphum.  These must be two years old
