26 in Bangkok

What a great place to have a birthday! My lovely wife got me up at 6:30 am and rushed me off to an internet cafe first thing. When I got there, there was a whole party waiting for me via skype. As I was talking with our Toronto friends, Miranda snuck off to get what I assumed would be coffee. Nope. A large beer at 7 am. The party was followed by a delicious American breakfast. The cafe just opened, and they were so great, giving me a homemade candle as a present! (That's the owner and cook in the picture) We then checked into a nice hotel for a change but left our camera in the cab! That brought the mood of the day down for awhile and is the reason we have very few pictures! I ran out later to buy some custom leather shoes to match my vietnamese made suit and we hit the town for the evening. English pubs, rooftop patios, and super trendy clubs were on the ticket.

I've included some shots of the train south since we had no pictures in bangkok...
