Hanging out with Wanvipa

I contacted the woman who used to run Thailand for Pitney Bowes. When we launched our products in Asia market, she and her team were the first country to sell our complex solutions. Wanvipa is fearless, well connected and highly respected in the business community here because she takes great care of her customers. Al S and Jeff D you will also remember Monchai will also try to see before we leave next week. Wanvipa took us for a clean massage (not sure how else we would figure out the difference between clean and dirty on our own unless we just went to an expensive hotel) but she assured us that the traditional Thai massage would hurt too much so we should choose a Swedish massage. A great recommendation as they immediately hop up on the table and practically sit on your legs to get the right leverage. John's lady was so strong he was convinced she could have snapped his neck had the mood struck. After the massage we went to the river and boarded a dinner cruise boat - the river is really one of the best ways to see Bangkok. We lucked out because it was Iranian night - a large group from Iran. Those guys (and only the guys) love to dance. The band had lots or Iranian tunes up their sleeves so once the party started they kept it going! A fun night!

  1. How fun! Was she surprised to hear from you? Or had you let her know you were coming - this time on pleasure? Weren't there any women on the dinner cruise? You and John are really racking up the memories!
