Late in the week, we received a call from Biing, who had finally arrived from Taiwan with his mother and brother. It has been only about half a year since Biing arrived from New York with Sally and Malcolm. Nice to have him return so soon.
After meeting for dinner, we decided to go for a drink at one of the hotels with a view. A little pricey, yes, but a nice experience. But then Tawn noticed that Biing was wearing flip flops, a no-no in nice hotels’ dress codes.
So we switched plans and went to the hotel next to his, ending up at the most incongruous of restaurants: Senor Pico. This grand-daddy of Krungthep’s Mexican restaurants was almost completely empty except for a band of Latinas playing upbeat music that seemed forlorn in such a large and empty space.
We tucked into a corner table away from the racket and enjoyed a small pitcher of very strong margaritas. Biing shared many thoughtful gifts with us, including a bottle of cashew fruit liqueur from South America.
After a nice visit, we dropped Biing at his hotel. He and his family will continue their journey around Thailand and we’ll hopefully see him on the return leg.
Yet another guest!

And what wonderful hosts, to entertain such dear friends.
It looks like you guys had a lot of fun. I’ve never heard about cashew fruit liquor. What does it taste like?
Hehehe… Mexican in Thailand! I have been eating a lot of Mexican these days and I love it!
Traditional Thai Margaritas? The title really caught my attention! And I love Maragritas.
Amazing – our world is shrinkng all the time- Mexican Restaurants in Thailand, Wal-Mart in Korea… indeed a global community!
Margartias….never had one but you make me want to try one.
@murisopsis – And Starbucks everywhere!
@bookwormchic09 – Actually, margaritas generally aren’t my drink of choice. The one and only time I ever got sick from drinking was with margaritas so there’s a bit of a taste memory with tequila. But if you can get a mango margarita, then you’re on to something!
@ZSA_MD – Well, thank you. We’re just lucky to have so many friends visiting us.
@TheCheshireGrins – Haven’t tried it yet, but will do an entry when I do.
@Dezinerdreams – You still in the US?
@ElusiveWords – Matt, any mention of alcohol catches your attention, right? Hope you don’t get whiplash. =)
@christao408 – Yep, am in DC for the weekend now but going back to NYC today. Returning to India on Nov 2nd.
