Bangkok clues explained

After a loooooong train ride, we have arrived in Bangkok!

Bangkok was given the distinction of the World's Hottest City by the World Metereological Association.  Pretty sure that wasn't what Buster Poindexter was singing about in his song "Hot, Hot, Hot"... but it is fitting nonetheless.

There have been major political protests in Bangkok in recent years, particularly in 2009 and 2010, by the United Front for Democracy Against Dictatorship, more commonly referred to as the "red shirts".  I am all about free speech, but I'm definitely not trying to cause any trouble, so to play it safe I'll make sure I avoid wearing a Manchester United jersey or any other red shirts during my stay.

Stu, Phil, Alan, Doug, Teddy, and Mr. Chow (or the Wolfpack as Alan likes to call it) had some pretty zany times in Bangkok in the film "Hangover 2."
