Wonderful, Alan. I had previously read your blog on Cambodia. This one on
Angkor Wat (city temple) is equally respectful and informative. Thanks for
sharing.

Thanks Nick. Much appreciated coming from you with your
background.
I'll probably get everything wrong with the Bangkok one in a
day or two:-)

I spent very little time in Bangkok (Krung Thep), Alan. The only time I
went to Pat Pong was to a bookstore to buy a Pali-Thai-English Buddhist
Dictionary! Most of my time was in Northern and Central Thailand. So, I
probably won't catch any mistakes!
Did I send you any pics from our mountain hideaway?
I'm gonna try to get back for another three month stay in the Fall (USA).

G'day, Alan. I read your Bangkok blog with great interest. It's unfortunate
that you weren't able to spend more time in the area, and with someone like
my wife's sister-in-law, who speaks excellent English and knows where
everything is, as a guide.
Regarding His Majesty King Bhumipol Adulyadej (Rama Gao - the ninth King of
the dynasty) and the Royal family. He is a people's King and greatly
revered by the Thai people. He helps his people in every way possible, as
does the Queen and as did his late daughter, the Princess. He is also a
well studied Buddhist monk. He has been instumental in preventing bloodshed
during the various coups that have taken place in Thailand since his
ascendancy to the throne in 1946. He is a descendant of King Chulalongkorn
(Rama Ha -the Fifth King of the dynasty), who was the young Price in "Anna
and the King of Siam." Buddhists throughout the world revere them. We have
pictures of the current King, his family and all nine of the Kings of the
Adulyadej Dynasty, in our house. I wear a small picture of Rama Ha on my
necklace.
Do you have Jun's Thai recipe book?

Not that I can recall. Should I? I'm afraid the memory is
hazy at the moment.
Thanks for the info on the King. I thought it had to be
something like that. The initial impression was that it was
just too "over the top", but gradually I came to realise
that it had to be genuine. In some of those shacks by the
river the most valuable item was a large framed portrait of
the king or the royal family.
I did a lot of walking, both around the Khao San road region
and around one of the major shopping areas a few miles away,
but I only had one full day and another afternoon there. And
I spent far too long in cabs back and forward to the hotel.
I found it interesting and I hope to get back someday. Maybe
I'll get back in touch then so I can meet your wife's
sister-in-law:-)
Grand Palace in a day or two, mainly photos for that one.
Cheers, Alan, T2, Australia.

I'm sorry Trink. At least yours is good for laughs, except the Queen
Mother. She seemed like a pretty good sort and plucky as Hell! Of course,
as a left ponder, I really couldn't say, except I remember the Queen Mother
from WW II.

Nice job, Alan. Brought back a lot of great memories. Another wonder part
of a wonderful trip! Thanks.
While you were ther, did you get to see the scale model of Ankgor Wat and
the wall of murals showing the history of Siam/Thailand?
The rule of thumb on removing footgear is always when entering a Buddhist
temple and whenever you see a pile of shoes outside any door, be it a home
or a business. You should also avoid stepping on the raised entry way of
any temple door, as this is considered bad luck.

The scale model is the first of the standard shape (as
against upright) pictures, after the word "photos". IIRC the
pic beside it is part of the mural you mention.

Hi, Robert,
If you find that low-carb Thai recipes website, I'd be real interested.
Right now, all I do is exercise portion control on noodles and cornstarch
thickener, replace sugar with Splenda when I can, and eat almost NO rice.
Mostly portion control on everything, as I hate to make Jun cook one batch
for herself and family, and another batch for me, although she doesn't
mind.

Terrifying? Is that because I'm not smiling? :-)
Or the cheek-by-jowl living?
I thought it was crowded, but that was before I went to
India. Then I realised Hong Kong wasn't crowded at all.

Alan, you amaze me. How you managed to see so much in two days. I know I'm a
lot older than you, but I felt I barely scratched the surface with 6 days
each in Sydney and Melbourne. Let's face it there mere villages in
comparison to Hong Kong.

I travel like a butterfly - flit from place to place, stay a
little while, move on quickly to the next. There are many
who prefer to choose one place and stay much longer; that
doesn't suit me, although I do it occasionally. Each to
their own.
Consequently, I tend to pack a lot into my short time in
each place. On my first trip, I didn't think I would ever
get the opportunity again so I saw as much of the world as I
possibly could in five months. On the second trip I did much
the same, seeing new places but re-visiting my favourite
places or people in the South of France, Paris, London,
Oxford and New York. This time I did that again.
So much to see, so little time (and so little funds:-) that
I try to make it count.
Maybe I just have a short attention span:-)
Cheers, Alan, T2, Australia.

The crowding! I can't cope with that at all. I watched a programme
yesterday that was not joking about the main trust of Japan's
anti-smoking campaign. Was nothing to do with health, but because
people were getting seriously burnt at crossings and in the street.
The campaign's leading image was of a kid whose eyes were at
fag-in-hand height... The guy moved to Japan for a few months to give
up smoking, and wrote a book about the experience. He's hoping it'll
cover the £23,000 costs of losing his habit :P

If I can trust my favorites list, it was just the same recipe site, but with
an
incorrect label. I've deleted it from my favorites list.
I did a Google search for "low carb Thai" without the quotes and found a
few sites that may be worth looking at: http://recipes.howstuffworks.com/how...-low-carb1.htm

I'm sure you'll know more than I do about which ones fit your idea
of Thai recipes. |

Wonderful, Alan! As to: ". . . see if you can guess the number of
passengers in the autorickshaw," while in Thailand, I saw five people
riding on a 110 cc. motorcycle, so nothing would surprise me.
Sorry you didn't get to ride on the Indian railroad. ;-D

Only five? Did they leave the grandparents at home?

I was going to, but opted for a car and driver instead. I'm
very glad I did.
Cheers, Alan, T2, Australia.

I just came across this via India Mike. It gives some idea
of Indian driving, although it is a light traffic day and
the pic quality is fairly poor.
It's long (20 minutes) but the first and last couple of
minutes will give you some idea:-) http://video.yahoo.com/watch/2884619/8283498
Cheers, Alan, T2, Australia.
