Miami to Bangkok - 30 Hours


It took over 30 hours.....flying from Miami to Minneapolis to Tokyo to Bangkok....Just to stand with over a million people in the crowded New Years Eve Countdown hysteria....

We celebrated Hui's 40th birthday at a great riverside restaurant....Shark Fin Soup is cheap in Bangkok...only $50/ bowl.

We took a (6) hour train ride (that only takes (2) hours by taxi) to the beach resort area of Hua Hin....Trains are just like the US.....always late! We flew back on a (12) passenger airplane that should have taken about an hour, but the pilots couldn't find the airport....and now we are in Chiang Mai at a boutique hotel called the "D2"..... www.d2hotels.com

Why Chiang Mai? Besides being the cultural center of Thailand....We are here to meet the world famous artist, Anan Saithong, that I commissioned to create a sculpture of me!

I've seen the pictures of the sculpture.....now I have to decide if I want to post this masterpiece on my blog....or have a Grand Preview party in Miami when I return???
