Swanky hotel

April 22-

After D&J got in the cab for the airport I hopped in a cab to Khao San Rd to see lots of PC friends who were in town for a confrence we all had. So great to hit the clubs in a big group of friends. Singing and dancing together. Then we went to an afterhouse bar which was the coolest thing ever. It looked like a closed business when our friend took us there, but you knock on the metal sliding baracade and they open for you. It only could have been cooler if we need a secret password.

That night Jeeda and Wendy drove down to Bkk with Munglee and met me at the swanky bangkok hotel because we still had it for one more night!!! The next day we hit the pool. After I made a bubble-bath for munglee. His 1st ever and he didn't want to get out which says a lot who screams and crys everynight at bath time at home.

Then we donned the plush white hotel bathrobes and went to the pool. Amazingly they wore bathing suits too. Normally at swimming establishments Thais are fully clothed. It's not unusual to see people swimming in jeans. They don't want to get sun and they Jeeda can swim which is pretty unique for Thais. And by the end I had taught Wendy to swim too! Munglee is excited to learn.

We lounged in the chairs and checked out the view of the River. The whole time we were joking that we were "Hi-So" the Thai transliteration of High Society. Before they came I was a little worried that they wouldn't enjoy the lavishness and would be weirded out by being pampered by other Thais, but they LOVED it. Munglee, being the cute 4 year old he is, announced he wants to move to "Rachel's house."
