We’ve returned to Bangkok, this time arriving through DMK rather than BKK – we now rely on low-cost carriers, the JetBlues and Southwests of Southeast Asia rather than the Uniteds and national airlines. We left Bangkok months ago after a night at The Expat Teacher’s home and a hike through a national park, with the Silamander. On our return we headed to Soi Rambuttri, a backpack enclave, found a room, found noodle soup from a street vendor, and now sit in our room playing Ticket To Ride. Saturday and Sunday night we will be back with The Expat Teacher for some weekend catchup.
