Eye of Modok

What better way to spend an evening in Beijing in celebration of the King of Thailand’s birthday than the grand ballroom of the Kerry Center Shangrila Hotel? Those of us who arrived promptly and were adept at buffet line maneuvering were able to taste nearly all of the offerings from local Thai restaurants. There were far more people than expected so some of them ran out of food early, but there was still plenty of delicious Thai goodness for everyone.
