Above is the picture I took on 7 June 2022 on our first flight of this "trip." Add 1000 days to that day and we find ourselves here in Bangkok Thailand. Thailand is our 34th country in the last 34 months. We have worn out some clothes, shoes, hats and fan batteries. To celebrate this we consulted our friends at Michelin and were pleased to have nearly 50 restaurants in Bangkok to choose from. Our celebratory lunch was at Yamazato which is up on the 24th floor of the Peninsula Building. Yamazato was top notch and the view was special too. Leslie ordered the big set lunch and had the whole Japanese experience from a hot custard, to sashimi, to fried pork loin to Japanese pickles. I ordered a few oddities from the menu. I had a fish soup that I expected to be large but it came out in a tiny teapot with an even smaller bowl. Next I ordered a bowl of pork dumplings with crab sauce on top. Both of these were good but let it be recorded that I was available to help Leslie out with her generous portions. We both came away full and happy to celebrate 1000 days on the road. We did some walking at the Siam Paragon to work off all of that lunch. Leslie found some clothes and I found a specialized battery and some data cards. It was great fun seeing all the Thai folks and the tourists shopping together.
I made a 1000 day slideshow. Enjoy
