I spent this past weekend with Suzanne and her American mother down in Bangkok and a small beach town called Cha-am. We spent Thursday to Sunday sleeping in, lazily wandering the town of Cha-am, renting a three person bicycle to ride to the market, lounging on beach chairs in the shade, going for Thai massages, shopping at Siam Paragon and JJ market, making a visit to Khao San Road [highly overrated] and sitting for 12 hours on a rickety, uncomfortable bus back to Nakhon Phanom.
It was a good time, and we even got the chance to drive by the King's house, some beautiful monuments and buildings in Bangkok at nighttime and at one point all the people along an entire intersection were pushed back to the walls, away from bridge ledges and traffic was completely stopped by policemen as the King drove by with his escort of 10 police cars with their sirens blaring.
A little bit different than Canada day when I shook Steven Harper's hand and told him to move over so I could see the Governor General. But that's Canada for you.
