Dan, a military neighbor of the gang at Soi Aree 3, with his "ling lom" (Slow Loris) at Emerald Buddha Temple.

Dan was a real nice guy. Don't know where he is now but back then he hung out with us a lot. His ling lom was his pet and he'd take it everywhere he went. It would cling to his neck as he puttered around Bangkok on his motorbike. When it came time for Dan to return to the States he tried to sneak his pet onboard the military transport plane. It was discovered and Dan had to send it back to our house via a friend.
The ling lom really missed Dan. It langished for a while, wouldn't eat and finally died. Sad.


 

All that remained of the Siam Intercontinental Hotel on October 25, 2002

My fondest memories of the hotel was when the Andy's wife (peace corps director at the time) asked several volunteers to help set up carnival games for a royal benefit the American Embassy wives were having at the Siam hotel. A bunch of us spent several weeks putting together the "games" and transported them over to the hotel where we set them up on the hotel grounds. Volunteers helped with the event that evening. It was the first and only time I ever saw the King of Thailand from close up. Sadly, other than monuments, there are so few landmarks left in Bangkok that would bring back any memories of the Thailand we use to know
