Psst! Want to Come Visit Me in Bangkok?
“If you reject the food, ignore the customs, fear the religion and avoid the people, you might better stay home.”
James Michener
Do you want to visit me in Bangkok and let me show you around my adopted hometown where I’ve now lived for more than 13 years? Huh? Do Ya?! Many have threatened to visit me over the years, but only one friend has actually appeared so far. Although he was only here for a few hours on a layover during his bands’ world tour, I think he’ll agree that it was one helluva evening. Last week on the always fun @FoodTravelChat the hosts devised a great list of questions about what a visit to one’s hometown might entail. I’ve answered the questions below and left a link to the tweet in case you’d like to see the original tweet, follow a link, or comment.

I’d like to add a sunset dinner cruise down the Chaya Phraya River, which I forgot to mention.
Okay, there you have it. Please everybody, don’t come to visit all at once!

About the Authors
Photographer George Edward Giunca, and his Thai wife, Apisatha, have traveled around Thailand armed with a circular fisheye lens to create a photo essay on the rich cultural diversity, and abundant natural beauty of the Kingdom of Thailand. Fleeing from angry water buffaloes, slapping huge mosquitoes, watching exotic festivals and religious rituals, gorging on delicious spicy food, applying aloe vera cream to sunburned skin, wading through rice paddies, getting drenched to the bone by heavy monsoon rains, and gawking at breath-taking scenery; made it a journey of epic proportions! The result is the book, THAILAND 180º. Later, they traveled extensively through Myanmar, Malaysia, and India, gathering a massive collections of 180º photos. They currently live in Bangkok.
