We’ve been to a lot of dessert places in Bangkok (which is awesome), but doing so has taught us something about desserts in Thailand that is less than awesome (awe-not-so-much?): looks can be very deceiving. For some reason a lot of the dessert places here care more about, how to make the desserts look good, instead of, how to make them taste good. Very short-sighted business strategy.

It costs 10-15 dollars for enough data to cover your whole trip and whether or not you’re familiar with Bangkok, it saves you a...
