Art Imitates Life



An old friend from Bend, Oregon was in town tonight. Julia Lyon (cooking club queen) is here doing a story for Johns Hopkins on the Burmese refugees of Thailand. I took this photo at the hotel she is staying at. www.phranakorn-nornlen.com . My favorite little oasis in BKK yet. I miss the creativity of Portland and the art scene. This hotel reminds me of Portland. I loved everything about it. If you are ever here for a night, this is the place to stay. Art, massage, coffee, travelers, a collection of old rotary phones, and a display of Thai comics covering the walls. This one reminds me of the men I saw about an hour after I took this photo sitting at a bar on Khao San Rd. drooling over women that could be their granddaughters...
