Overall

The airport was good. The cab found my Alexander hotel in Bang Kapi half way to downtown. No tourists there. The hotel was fun for 3 days. Real nice people. Stayed in an apartment for 2 weeks. In a 3 minute walk you could find 10 restaurants and 20 street vendors. Most of the restaurant food will not just burn your mouth, it will hurt for 30 minutes. Then it is just be bloody hot for another 30 minutes. We would eat fried rice with vegetables or noodles with veggies at a restaurant for about a dollar. Then we would bring fruit home for after dinner. I ate everything I could find. Never got a little sick. The best buffet and show is the Sala Rim Nam. Very nice show and wonderful food. My Thai wife loved everything about it. Try all the food in Thailand. A lot of it you will not be able to eat. Too hot. Suck on a piece of ice if you get burned. Going back in February for another month of cheap food. Mmmmm cheap food.
