All Things Thai

One of Jim's close friends from Pomfret School lives in Thailand. Jim hopes to take me there to meet him, enjoy the spicy cuisine, culture, and beauty of Thailand as well as the Thai people. Jim's friend Krit has a restaurant Yura An, http://www.thaiasiatoday.com/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=344&Itemid=40
