Date night, tourist-trap style, Siem Reap
Just because we are traveling, and every night is date night (awww), we decided to have a tourist-trap date. We started at Miss Wong, a Shanghai themed cocktail lounge. All deep red and black lacquer, with fun drinks and good … Continue reading
Cambodia, Mie Cafe
I can’t recall how we learned about this spot, some blog or website, they all become a blur after awhile. No matter, we are glad that we did. The chef/owner trained and apprenticed in Switzerland, and came back to Cambodia … Continue reading
Back to Bangkok, dec 17-20
The overnight sleeper to Bangkok is certainly the way to go, for no other reason than you get to stretch out. Here’s the train during the day: The top berths there fold out, and the seats below are made into … Continue reading

Chiang Rai misc. Dec 2-3
As previously promised… Moped with toddler seat. I don’t want you to think I’m mocking this, I actually think it’s pretty great- teach the kids to hang on early. I like the self-reliance of it. Here’s the cutest food truck … Continue reading
Mae Sai to Chiang rai, 2 Dec.
Yesterday, we went for a hike to the Luang Cave, west and north of our “resort”. It was about a 3-4 kilometer walk towards Burma: Here’s the big sign of the big cave. It’s 800 meters in, we made it … Continue reading
Oh, Thank heaven….
Maybe we still have 7-elevens in Colorado, I can’t recall the last time I’ve seen one. I must have thought they were out of business, if I thought about it at all. Anyway, Thailand has them everywhere! This pic of … Continue reading
