Bangkok Bliss

Vanilla Garden, Ekkamai, originally uploaded by New Territories.

So--- went to Bangkok during Songkran and had a lovely (and only minimally-soaked) few days. Highlights include: seeing a great show by Stylish Nonsense at No Space Gallery, watching Sang Sattawat (Syndromes & a Century) at the theatre in its censored but still-radical glory, discovering the joys of Vanilla Garden (pictured), seeing the few friends in town during the holiday, mild splashings, insane food as usual, checking out Tomyam Pladib at the Jim Thompson Art Center and catching up on the Bangkok Experimental Film Fest offerings that I missed at the William Warren Library next door (thanks Mary and David!), and shockingly making it from Thanon Wittayu onto my Thai Airways plane bound for Vientiane in ONE HOUR FLAT (alarm didn't go off and I thought I missed the flight for sure, go TG!)
