Back in Bangkok

 It was finally time to set up the Hope Lab annex in Bangkok.  The microscope is looking good!
 Here is Wiriya, Somsak, and Casey with the scope.  Wiriya and Somsak will be doing the microscopy experiments at the Thai Red Cross in Bangkok.
 After work on the first day we took the Skytrain and water taxi to Wat Pho Buddist Temple
 Wat Arun, which is located across the river from Wat Pho.
 The famous reclining Buddah at Wat Pho.
 This was a beautiful shrine of Buddah at Wat Pho
 There were many statues and Chedis at Wat Pho.
 Storm over bangkok
 After my talk at AFRIMS about or vaccine research, we went out to dinner at Cabbages and Condoms.
 The food was amazing!  This was lunch at a small place near the Thai Red Cross.
 Here is the research team outside of the Thai Red Cross.
When we went out to dinner we stumbled upon Thai Boxing outside of the M.B.K. mall.  They were really punching and kicking each other.  Interesting to watch in the street.  It was a short, very productive trip.  So excited to get the vaccine research in Bangkok up and running.

My favorite thing about Narita Airport is the way you can get a beer.  Just take a frosty glass out of the refrigerator, put it in the slot, push the button, and be amazed.
