1. Reconnecting with boarding school friends Sonya & Jason (married, expecting baby #1 very soon) in Bangkok, and Mike Knox in Chiang Mai. Bangkok was nice and chill. Surprisingly, everything we needed was in walking distance - all variety of food, flowers, shopping, massage.
2. Art: Also walking distance from Sonya's in Bangkok was a very cool gallery that had a great openning while i was there. In Chiang Mai, the University museum had a show of the grad student's senior thesis projects. Really incredible and stimulating. Overall, considering how long I was there, I didn't get a whole lot out of Thailand art-wise.
3. Afore mentioned trekking.
4. Massage
5. FOOD! I'm hoping one of these days a county I go won't have incredible food. My clothes are on the verge of not fitting anymore.
