This dog takes a nap at our favorite dessert spot. Mangoes are perfectly sweet and smooth while the sticky rice provides a savory counter-bite.

Bangkok traffic is infamous, intractable, and impassable - we've spent 40 minutes just trying to get across a major intersection. The most pleasant way to navigate Bangkok is by boat - inexpensive canal taxis will take you downtown and river boats to temples and neighborhoods along the Caho Phraya. In addition to getting you where you need, they also provide a glimpse of life on the water.Read Bangkok's 15-course street meal.

This actor readies himself for a street celebration in the Banglamphu market area of Bangkok. Local families gathered in the blocked off area to watch the festivities (and slowly go deaf from the volume of music and banter). Without any Thai skills, we could still roughly follow the storyline involving love, royalty and a few peasants. Some things are universal.Read Bangkok's 15-course street meal.

Passengers on the boat wisely carry umbrellas to protect themselves from the sun on the way to and from Myanmar. ..We took this journey as part of a visa run, i.e., a quick trip to the nearest border country to Thailand in order to re-enter and get an additional 30 days of stay in Thailand. The Myanmar border guards were incredibly friendly. We'd like to return for a real visit.
Lumpini park is a large park in downtown Bangkok that provides a welcome respite from the high rise buildings and traffic that surround it. People arrive early to practice their tai chi and take in a little breakfast at the outdoor food court before starting their day.
