Singapore and Thailand

Back in November, I hit up a tour of SE Asia for work (yes, I'm that behind on posts)



The ports of Singapore are logistical awes - really incredible stuff



Lots of things to be received and shipped - had never seen a port like this before



Singapore continues to build up in order to keep pace with its incredible economic momentum



Singapore Slings on the 74th floor at the New Asia bar



Had to head down to the river in Singapore too; so many great restaurants here



You can pick out your own fish - yup, the food is that "fresh"



There are also numerous food courts spread out across Singapore - great food for a cheap price



Had to pop off a shot with the JPlus



I love this about Asia - the East meets West architecture of the city, and somehow it all works



And notice how clean the streets are in Singapore - you won't find any gum on these sidewalks



I made it out to Bangkok too - I love Thailand, and not just for the hot pink taxis



Coming into the city of Bangkok from Suvarnabhumi airport



Bangkok, despite being a highly populated city, has beautiful pockets of rivers and foliage in the most random spots



View from my room at the Sofitel; highly recommend that hotel if you go through bkk



Another shot of Bangkok's downtown skyline



Beneath these tin roofs are some amazing eating joints



Mango and sticky rice w/ ice cream in Bangkok - don't get better than this



One thing I really like about Bangkok, and Thailand in general, is everywhere you turn there are these small little religious statues



Get the best pad thai you've ever had for less than a buck out here



And of course, a trip to Bangkok would not be complete without grabbing a scotch at the bar on top of the State Tower
