There will be a TBB post this Friday, I may publish it sooner to account for the 12 hr difference. Which is really difficult to be based here. Other than that, the vibrancy of this city is amazing. And addictive.

Thank you Christian. Typing this from the breakfast area in the BKK Hyatt Place. I need to focus on putting the Friday blog post together for you guys. Bangkok is great, I love it here.

And thanks for the data point on these CO cardsl

Now THAT is a breakfast. WOW.

Interesting trip report, thanks

@Mo: Thanks for that tip. It was on my list and since now I have yr recommendation as well I will make sure I try it, thanks!

I can’t laugh about the election. We are about to go through 4 years of absolute batshit crazy. You can see that from the first picks for the incoming administration. Brace yourselves! We voted for this, elections have consequences. It boggles the mind that the Trump voters really thought that they will be better off with these bozos running the asylum.

Last day of the conference. There are some super travel nuts here…I feel so inadequate among them.

Of course deficits matter. And they’ll matter to everyone about 3 days after people quit buying treauries.

How do you like the location of the HP in Bangkok btw?

The election? I’m over it now and can only laugh. It is hilarious and sadly devastating at the same time. The laughter helps. What else can one do in the face of a potential cabinet full of grifters and rapists. Yes I’m exaggerating again, but WTF?
Maybe I’m not over it…
I have been a resident alien in the US for about 40 years, and seeing the changes in American society as of late has been a sobering experience. I can’t even vote in this country, and don’t plan on it being my home country for much longer, but the dysfunction is difficult to come to terms with.
I’m not ragging on the US, It’s been very good to me in many ways. My kids were born here, I started my own business here and have many close friends. I was always drawn to the USA as a kid growing up in the frozen country of Canada. Yes, we have hockey, the CFL, curling and poutine, but the US has something called sunshine hours and you actually count them here. You have the Thundering Herd, the Horned Frogs, the Fighting Irish, The Fighting Ducks, The Fighting Barnacles, the Green Wave and Bobby Orr played for the Bruins. What’s not to like?
Still, it is hard to reconcile.

Have a great time on your trip and a great time with your family, I think you have more than earned it Buzz. I’m a bit jealous as I was hoping to attend the conference as well and check out SE Asia for the first time. Maybe next year.
Thank you again Buzz!
