After being there for any length of time, it’s always shocking to walk back out into the steamy heat of Bangkok, with all the smells, smog and noise.

Last night for a birthday celebration of some friends here, we went out to a nice restaurant called “Leelawadee”. It was a beautiful open-air restaurant, decorated with fountains, bamboo furniture and lanterns, and surrounded with plumeria trees- Leelawadee in Thai (check out their website for pictures!).
While we were there, our friend Ole told us the story of the leelawadee flower…
