Thailand sounds like an amazing place to vacation to! I hope you post more pictures and stories from your trip.

I am SOOOO jealous of your trip! My hubby and I have befriended the owners of a local Thai restuarant. We play cards with them once a week and they are showing us how to cook. We hope to someday go to Thailand with them! Thanks for sharing!

PS – some Thais find the budda pictures with people offensive…

I was in Thailand last year and fell in love with the country too. Interesting lesson I learned: The more tourists are in an area and the more money is circulating the more you become just that for the people: a bag of money. The good virtues in people tend to vanish where tourists concentrate.

I really wish your wife would do a guest post on how she stays so gorgeous after having all those kids! A mom like me could use info like that :-)

Hi Leo. Have been reading your blog for a while now and I really like it. Lots of great stuff.

Since you seem to think a lot about life, I am a bit curious how your thoughts went when you wrote that you considered living in Thailand. Only for a short time, or for many years? What about your family? Would they go to? Or was your plan to go there like for retirement?

I am curious because I am facing maybe moving to another country, and one of the problems for me is that I feel that my family will be too far away if I move.

Looking forward to reading more great posts from you.

I’m in Thailand myself right now. Today in Phuket , tomorrow who knows.
I’ve been to Bangkok aswell and I’d skip the Grand Palace , it’s a rip off (in my opinion) compared to the cheaper Wat Pho (with the reclining Buda) and Wat Arun (with impressive views of Bangkok if you’re not afraid of heights).
If you consider MBK astonishing next time try Pratunam market next to Platinum Shopping Centre. The guys @ MBK buy their stuff from Pratunam so just imagine the $$ savings.
BTW legit DVDs in Thailand are really cheap, I’m not sure those are full versions but I’d think so. Latest titles were really cheap like 200B for Rambo 4 or Vanishing Point for 130B. These are official releases, they have to lower the prices to compete with the pirated dvds.
Also if into computers or just for the fun of it I’d have suggested Pantip Plaza just to see all those gadgets on the flood.

Great to have you back! I can relate with the blogging withdrawal thing. I’ve been traveling quite a bit this summer and now I’m currently out of US. Being away however gives you a new perspective in life.

I’m looking forward to your new materials.
