Great report.
Thanks Carol

I just uploaded a new photo to my profile. It's the one of me trying to traverse the stepping stones in Krabi! I know, it's a small photo... but maybe it'll give you an idea of why I was saying ... "Maeng, I don't like this!"
Carol

Never mind that post about the new photo. It didn't put it on my profile!! What am I doing wrong???

Looks just fine to me. Maybe you just needed to hit reload in your browser.

Glad you are home safe and sound. Thanks for the up to the minute report. We have taken a few notes and will use them in Nov. See ya in BOS in Oct. Have to go pack for Rusia.

OK... I see it's in there now. Maybe it took at minute to change the photo.

Bob and Karen, have a great time in Russia. I'll get to St Petersburg someday! See you in Boston.

as always a great report and always so timely...

so do all those purchases look as good now that you have them at home? i know some are coming by boat too...

You bet they look good, Bob. Shopping was really great on this trip. I found lots of new things! The challenge of the hunt!

The stuff coming by ship should be here right before BOS GTG time.

shucks, i was wishing to receive a dragon

Bob
Meang bought 6-8 dragons at the dragon place in CM. When you visit her, ask to see them. Maybe she'll give you one!

Carol

i hope we can fit garlic shrimp in.....would she be there for lunch??

remind me of the address?? soi 11?

She opens at 2:00, but Maeng doesn't usually arrive until maybe 4ish, plan on dinner at Pickled Liver. Soi 11.. a sub-soi, just past Zanzibar restaurant (on the left side of soi 11 as you enter from Sukhumvit. She knows that you are going to be coming in November sometime. Be sure to let her know that you are friends of Carol. You'll be well taken care of.

Is Maeng really prepared for a Bob and Andy invasion? Should we go separately to break her in gently?

haha... just get it over with!!! Go en-masse! She'll be delighted. You wouldn't believe what she puts up with at that bar. First time I took her to CM, I asked her if she wanted to visit the Monkey School (they teach monkeys to pick coconuts)... her reply... "I deal with monkeys everyday at the bar!"

She'll love to meet all of you, I'm sure!

Carol

is andy allowed to climb on the bar and do his tricks??

well, i always wondered why she always puts a banana in my grey goose martinis instead of olives. ;-)

Ken,
Maeng asked about you. When are you going back?

Watch out for Lee, behind the bar. He is an absolute GEM! So funny!!! (naughty/funny) I think he may have a "following" of fans. Maeng needs to keep him happy so he doesn't move on to another bar and leave the PL!

Bob, Andy will have a good time. You'll see!

Carol

its in our schedule if we keep it the way it is...we'll see..i can taste that garlic shrimp now...

Bob, maybe Dr Jack will be there the evening you guys are there. It would be nice if you could meet him also. What an interesting character!!
