I was invited to a crazy dinner in Bangkok at the Lebua Hotel the day before yesterday from which I am only just now recovering, whereas Jenny claims she will need to redouble her workouts for another month to recover.
Six chefs who each have eighteen Michelin stars between them (there, I made the math easy!) prepared over a dozen courses paired with wines. The entire meal was ridiculously over the top... I had never seen so much truffle on a plate, and there was also Kobe beef, Beluga caviar which I believe is still unavailable in the US, and some amazing and overrated wines. The bill? By my reckoning (and inexact grasp of current exchange rates), over $20,000 US. Jenny and I should have shared a setting, it was that much food.
Yes, that was off-topic, but I will get to the more relevant postings later, including the Thailand trip, as well as New York, London, and other points. After I recuperate.
