The view from my window.
One of my most favorite places ever is this laid-back boutique hotel hidden up a side alley along a canal in a nicer part of Bangkok. Step through the gates of Phranakorn Nornlen and its hippie/Buddhist/New Age vibe instantly drops your blood pressure into the bliss zone. The open-air meditation/Internet/massage area looks like a set from "Gilligan's Island," and each room is built and designed using salvaged building materials and found items, all artfully repurposed.
Most engaging of all are the young women who run Phranakorn Nornlen, who are simply the gentlest, most cheerful creatures you will ever meet ... until they learn that you are a sex tourist, and then they will kick your ass.
