Tuesday in Bangkok

Yesterday, I went with a group to Pattaya south of Bangkok in search of elephants and beach. The elephants were quite good and Amy, Christie, Katie, and I all enjoyed the elephant trek. The beach was C- and the town a bit seedy for my taste. Apparently, Pattaya was a R&R location for US troops during the Vietnam War. So you can imagine the kind of economy that has grown here. I didn't really know what a sexpat was until this trip. Also, it was an excessively long bus ride (lots of traffice and rough highways). I'm glad I went, but wouldn't choose to return.

Tomorrow we meet with Ogilvy Public Relations and on Thursday we meet at Bangkok University with my colleague Peeraya whom I met at IPRR in Miami back in March.

Yep, it's still hot!
