If you are visiting Bangkok or have friends visiting Bangkok, a site you cannot miss is the Grand Palace. I always believe that to understand a city and its people you have to understand it’s past.

Amidst the boxes I’m happy I finally found my box of photo CDs. I’m delighted the DVD reader reads them well and the photographs are still there after almost a decade. I shall have to back them up. With digital cameras, I take more pictures but print less and then end up losing some when my…
