During my trip to Bangkok in October 2010, I tried out the newly opened Suvarnabhumi Airport Link to get to the airport, instead of taking a taxi.
My hotel was near the Asok BTS station, and sharing a taxi from the airport to my hotel had cost about 500 baht (250 baht each).

To get to [...]

Mexican Restaurant in Bangkok

Mexican food is rather rare to come by in Southeast Asia.
Rightfully so, most tourists would probably want to eat Thai food in Thailand or Lao food in Laos.
But once you have been here a while, say, nine years or so, you might seek a Mexican food fix even in Asia.
In Bangkok I [...]

I’m in the phase of life where I would rather receive a meaningful or personal gift instead of a snowman dollar store coffee mug.

When you purchase gifts through the World Vision Gift Catalog, 89 percent of donations received go to programs helping children and families [...]

But now that I am sitting down to write about it, it is quiet a difficult task.
Why? Because I have been to Thailand more than 30 times in the past 6 years. Not to mention [...]

Impulse Purchase

This wasn’t really an impulse buy, but it totally isn’t my “usual” style. I saw these super sequin-intense wall hangings being sold on the streets of Bangkok many times before I finally decided to buy one.
Usually I gravitate toward “plain jane” or “natural” looking clothing and decor, but something about this giant bead-and-sequined monstrosity called [...]

When I was “window shopping” the Mystic Wonders, Inc. online catalog, I saw a product they call the Feng Shui Frog.
“Haven’t I seen you somewhere before?”
These frogs are sold all over the place in Thailand as a handicraft/souvenir.
In fact, I bought one on my very first trip to [...]

At the zoo in Chiang Mai, Thailand, you can buy bunches of raw string beans and bananas to feed the giraffes.
I love giraffes and it is amazing and unnerving to be so close to them.
They are absolutely enormous. From this picture you can see that this giraffe’s skull is probably about 30 inches long!
