Land of Smiles

Land of Smiles. Thailand's fitting nickname. I will be back, but for now, goodbye to:

Palm trees galore.  Not quite like LA.

The view from my hotel's (Hotel Muse) rooftop pool.  (Hotel Pros: rooftop pool, the view, speakeasy bar, cleanliness; Cons: slow wifi, dark motif.)

Jim Thompson's house (and the many silk scarves in the gift shop).  

Anti-government political rallies in support of the king. 

Nighttime views of the bustling city.
