The Air Gets SPICY in Bangkok

We all know Thai food can be spicy, but the air? Yes indeedy.
My girlfriend and I walked into a local Thai restaurant, street food with an address, the menu featured on a large plastic banner hanging from rods.

The waitress/owner pointed to the chosen cuisine with an umbrella to make we received the correct order.
you point to what you want with an umbrella

We sit down and gaze around, as the chef puts the ingredients together. A minute later a tear runs down my eye.
"Sweetie," implores my girlfriend. "What's wrong?"
"I'm not crying!" I rebut.  
"You have tears rolling down both cheeks sweetie."
"The air is spicy!"
She turns around toward the kitchen, and stares in the direction for a few seconds, smoke coming from the chili-peppers cooking on the grill. Her eyes are red as she turns back towards me, moments later tears roll down her cheeks.
"Spiciest air ever," she jokes.

At least the food was tasty. Red hot, but tasty.

Erawan Waterfall- a Great Weekend Trip from Bangkok

Image
one of 7 levels of Erawan Falls Only a few hours away from Thailand's sprawling capital lies Erawan National Park, home to a 7 level waterfall. It's SE Asian nature at it's best, and a meditative experience watching the light blue water cascading down the mountains, cleverly changing its course as the jungle's obstacles present.  You get there via K anchanaburi, where you can take a shared van to and from the city, then either hire a taxi or just rent a car and travel up sightseeing the area. You can check out the video below to get an idea of how beautiful the area is.  It's a fabulous experience and well worth the trip!

Maekhamin Waterfall in Thailand- stunning + distant

Image
welcome to Maekhamin Waterfall Okay, so it's a couple hours from  Erawan Falls , a decent distance from Bangkok, but soooo worth visiting- Maekhamin Waterfalls. For nature lovers, it's a must, and comes with the distinct  advantage of being far less crowded than Erawan. I suggest renting a car.  There is little to any English spoken in the area, and there are no ATM's so make sure you bring enough cash. That said, the area is cheap and inexpensive, and is a great experience.  Watch the video below and sift through the photos to get an idea of the area's beauty. Enjoy! :) Maekhamin Waterfall- all levels of the falls: National of park Thailand a gentle flow down for more photos of  Maekhamin Waterfall

An Honest Jewelry Store in Bangkok- Rama Jewelers (Silom Area)

Image
Well, there's at least one on his jeweler in Bangkok. Rama Jewelers.  We entered on a whim. My wife got excited and wanted to have our wedding bands made there, for her a diamond one. and ended up ordering a $2000 ring on the spot.  We had momentary buyers remorse when we went into a nearby jeweler, who promised to create a similar ring more cheaply. We had already put a deposit down and paid for the rain. It took a month to complete. We went in to pick it up and my wife noticed how tight it was around her finger. Apparently we had sized it incorrectly. They explained that perhaps it was because she was now far more pregnant, and thus her ring finger was swollen. We agreed to come in after she gave birth, (presumably her extremities would no longer be swollen) and if it wasn't fitting at that point, they would make an entirely new ring for us. Keeping to the agreement, we came in two weeks after giving birth, and true to their word, they took the original ring, a
