It’s nice to know that the inner city canal system is still in use, even after most of them were filled in from the 1960s. If you get the chance, it’s a little bit off the beaten path and it’s a cheap way to both get around and see some funkier areas of Bangkok: Khlong Saen Saep Boat Service

More Noro-san Videos
Noro-san apparently gained a few kilos on his trip to Thailand. Come to think of it, he never stopped eating!
Noro-san in Thailand
My pal T brought his 80 year old uncle to Thailand for an end of the year trip and we hung out for a week. It was his first trip on an airplane for 30 years, and everyone had a great time with him. I’ve been putting together a series of Shorts with the highlights.
Fire Safety
This is a pretty common demonstration at schools and government offices in this country. Seemingly. the more run down the venue is, the crazier the demonstrations are. I’ve seen them light the flames and wave the gas cylinders over their heads like Donkey Kong before.
RMU Melodies
I like walking around my campus at sunset because I can see after school activities in a nice light just as it’s getting cooler.

ICONSIAM is a huge mall and condo development on the banks of the Chao Phraya river that winds through the heart of Bangkok. It is a true testament to Thai consumerism and apparently cost a billion and a half USD. It’s huge and sleek and expensive, and it’s a great place to be a tourist and escape the heat.
Moo Deng Livecam
Breakfast happens around 8:00 AM. The pen on the far side of the fence houses Papa Deng (Tony). Mama Deng’s name is Jona/Jonah. In typical Thai fashion, some of her siblings/half siblings are also named after pork dishes, Moo Wan (sweet pork) and Moo Toon (stewed pork).

Max’s auntie took us to a Korean BBQ buffet near her office in Sukhumvit and it’s basically the best yakiniku I’ve had in Thailand. For 500 baht ($15 US), you get the higher tier plan with beef and seafood, and the waitress comes to grill everything for you. This is the second time we’ve been there, and we’ll probably try to make it there whenever we’re on an extended Bangkok trip.
Max is stuck waiting on a delayed flight
It’s taking him more than a day and a half to get back home due to multiple Delta delays. Death by boredom, the opposite of Thai transportation!
