Bangkok and Phuket: Part II of Papa's Birthday!

Tonight we are heading to Bangkok, Papa's birthplace, for a few days before flying to the island of Phuket to rest. It is part II of Papa's birthday. Monsoons have just hit Phuket and there were pretty serious floods. I mean, the wheels on trucks were under water in pictures we saw but we are hoping all of that is a thing of the past and we can enjoy some sunny, dry days at the beach! If not, we'll be happy to help the locals sweep our their shops/homes/restaurants etc.

It'll be fun visiting the Italian relatives in BKK who have some restaurants. We look forward to catching up with family and old friends like Khun Pakorn whom we visited in 1997! This time last year, I took the boys to Krabi, Thailand where we had great fun and were lucky with missing the worst of the monsoon weather. Let's hope the same is true this year!
