Things we noticed:
- $1 = 30 Baht. 1 Euro = 50 Baht. 1 British Pound = 62 Baht.
- They love waffles - street vendors sell them like we do hot dogs
- Heineken is everywhere
- Coke Zero is more popular than Coke Light (what they call Diet Coke)
- The Sky Train is better/cleaner than the "L"
- Moped - perhaps the main mode of transportation, even used as cabs with women getting on the back to go to work.
- Gas - about the same price
- Metered cabs - sofa king cheap
- Dogs - everywhere. They almost all looked like the same bread and mangy as hell. Yet they are well treated.
- Traffic - it's like an ant colony, with constant merging and signal lights and honking. Everyone is polite and we never saw an accident. No accidents might be the most amazing thing I actually saw.
- Napkins - insanely small.
- Italian restaurants are the most popular after Thai and Indian.
- 7/11's are everywhere.
- Burger King is more popular than McDonald's and a value meal costs a hint over $2.
- Favorite color - Gold leaf

have fun and when you get to Portland let me know.
We are planning a trip to Thailand too. Long story but we bid on a house and won it at my son's school for a benefit.
We can't wait.
See you at the wedding?
