randomness...is an amazing example of the effects of mass backpacker tourism. The whole street is a tourist alley, but of the dreadlocks and batik brigade.
Bizarre occurrence was turning on the radio and hearing a cover of "One Night in Bangkok" being played on FM 90 here.
Write-up of Bei Otto, a German restaurant here in Bangkok, to follow.

One flight to Bangkok, makes a hard girl humble...

HIGHLY worth your time. (You can hire them all up and down the tourist strip.)

Good to hear from you! I wanted to get together when I went through DC last time but I didn't have your contact info handy. :(
Anyway, the Thai friends I'm travelling with (and am, at this moment, sitting next to) just happen to be from Chiang Mai, so there's definitely a possibility of my going with them up north. However, timing may be an issue because they're leaving on a birthday trip for their mom (they're going to Darjeeling, whee!) next week.
