rachel and I arrived in Bangkok Monday night, had a super easy time clearing customs, getting our bags, and making our way to the hotel. compared to the cool 70's in Hong Kong, Bangkok is definitely a bit steamier, even after dark.
we connected with dan, who arrived yesterday (woke him up actually), and went out for a small venture near the hotel to find cash and a beer. it was really quiet for a Monday night... but we managed to find beer and mango sticky rice right along the water.
even at 10pm on a Monday, the river was busy with party boats.
