Asia Series: Bangkok, the FOOD

I can't say enough about the delicious food in Bangkok.  I love Thai food in the states, but this was a whole other level of deliciousness.  I even got to take a cooking class at the Blue Elephant, so we'll see if I can replicate anything at home!

Great little restaurant called Phuket Town
