Our friends Patty and Steve who we know from our years in Laos, now have a beautiful apartment in downtown Bangkok, Thailand (see arrow) and invited us to visit them for a while this past winter.

Bangkok is the most visited city on the planet. It hosts over 30 million visitors a year. And you cannot travel 100 meters in this city without encountering a construction site. It might be another office tower or apartment complex or hotel or shopping mall - or any combination of these.
