They even served complimentary coffee alongside our food. We arrived late and came at the tail end of Ken Daganio’s Ruby on Rails teaser talk. Looks like he built a blogging app for the demo.

Bangkok

Bangkok

I don’t have many words for Bangkok; the city streets were much like the ones we know and love, while the sights were majestic. Here’s an abridged collection of photos from that trip (the rest are on Flickr)—way back in 2011, has it been that long?
