MORE SENSELESS ACTS OF BLOGGERY

No half-assed series of Bangkok business trip pics would be complete without some gratuitous giant airport statues of local mythological demons keeping watch over the check-in counters.

That’s a misleading headline. But I did eat at a place called Garage Burger & Grill. Which had a garage theme.

Sort of.



See that picture on the wall in the upper right corner? I think that’s the king and queen of Thailand.

Anyway, I got the “My Thai” burger, which came with sweet chili sauce and a fried egg. It looked like this.



It was pretty good, I must say.

DISCLAIMER: I realize in some circles it’s not considered cool for Americans to go to a non-American country and eat burgers. I should stress that I had quite a bit of Thai food as well. But I confess I’m a sucker for local interpretations of the hamburger.

Also, c’mon, who wouldn’t try a restaurant with van seats?



That is a tasty burger,

I am in Bangkok, by the way – on telephones business, as usual.

Here’s the view from my hotel room.

And here’s the view IN my hotel room.

 

The one on the left is a sculpture in the foyer. The one on the rght is self-explanatory. That green thing? It’s an elephant.

There’s one in the washroom as well.

A rubber squeaky one.






How awesome is that?

I’m here until Friday, and I may be too busy to do any virtual tourism for you. But I’ll do what I can.

Rubber elephant yr the one,
