We met our friends John and Cindy by chance in Bangkok Airport...
...and had a drink in the splendid atrium bar in the new airport hotel at 3am
At the end of the rainy season the country is flooded, as the waters recede the rice crop is planted
Local street kids would soon find the newly arrived tourists to sell books...
...sunglasses...
...or just beg with a baby
Never know where you'll find a kilt!
Much of the action in the city takes place on the banks of the Tonle Sap river
The streetside pictures were taken from the "Frog and Parrot" in the middle of this picture
