BANGKOK, April 22 — My mind has been wandering the soi — the narrow streets and alleys — of Bangkok recently, especially with the Songkran celebration last week. ( Sawasdee Pee Mai! Or “Happy Thai New Year!” to my Thai friends and readers, by the way.) I miss the colour and the cacophony, the aromas of street food such as the ubiquitous pad Thai, kai jeow (crispy Thai omelette served over rice) and kao niew ma muang (mango sticky rice), the smattering of conversations I can’t help but overhear and only half understand (or, to be honest, far less than that).
