Bangkok Podcast 76: Freedom to Walk

This episode of Bangkok Podcast comes a bit late due mostly to
the fact that both Tony and Greg have new jobs and are working
like crazy men. Crazy men! But thankfully this nutty city still
gives us enough to talk about. On this episode we're joined by
Ali Weiner, who is organizing an amazing event for a very good
cause. In an effort to raise awareness of the dangers and
realities of human trafficking and to meet their goal of raising
$100,000 dollars for various charities, her, her friend, and as
many others as want to join, are going to walk from Bangkok to
Three Pagoda's pass on the Thai Burmese border. That's right -
walk the whole way. Ali tells us how the idea came about,
describes the route she'll take, and lets us know how we can
help. In fact - if you want to join her on her walk, feel free!


Greg and Tony also talk about three news stories that have been
burning up the news lately - the incredible amount of rain
Bangkok is has been getting of late (which hopefully won't be
enough to cause more floods this year); a reduction in the price
of the poorly-conceived airport rail link to help boost ridership
(the reduction is only good for a few hours during the middle of
the day); and the newest beauty product to hit the market, vagina
whitening cream (note to girls everywhere: No. No. No).


And don't forget to check out our sponsor, the Bangkok Tree
House, which goes above and beyond when it comes to serving
amazing meals using locally-grown ingredients.
