Dear Family and Friends,

In case you are reading my blog close enough to notice my use of the past tense, I should mention that as is more often the case than not, I have returned to Bangkok in actuality before I’ve returned to Bangkok in my blog. No worries on the boredom front, biding my time for a Korean work visa has provided me the opportunity to be a tourist in the city that I know more as a resident. Happily, my traveling friend and I took full advantage of our one final weekend before I depart for Korea (the Visa is imminent - and yet still a mystery!) and she for Canada. I have notes on Chang Mai, a train ride, a huge gold Buddha and a teak mansion to tell you about.

Ciao!

Laura
