Michael and Anna at the Chao Phraya river restaurant
Noah and I just spent three days in Hua Hin, 3 hours south of Bangkok on the east coast of the isthmus, with my old he isthmus, with my old college buddy Michael Deland. He has lived in Thailand for 10 years, and has been married to Anna for six years. It was a wonderful stay. Besides catching up on old times, we ate really good food - squid on a stick, as well as a delicious home cooked meal, visited a monkey temple, had long walks on the beach and gulf course (where they live), and had two massages trying to work out the kinks in my hip (and, you can never have too many massages). They drove us back to Bangkok and treated us to a delicious meal on the Chao Phraya, as well as a lovely time shopping for tile for the renovation of their new condo.
On Sunday we will go to the ancient capitol of Ayuthaya for a few days, then head to Calcutta (now called Kolkata) on Wednesday. Getting an Indian visa and international airline tickets have put a crimp in my style, but once we arrive in India, we should be more free to not plan. I am looking forward to that.
