Michael & His Condo

Back in 2005, I took some Thai language classes in Bangkok.  Some of my classmates were Japanese.  There was an American man named Joe (from Kentucky), who's absent in the picture below.  Another classmate was Chinese, and one was Swiss.  The Swiss guy was Michael.  He was living in Milan, Italy, where he worked for an investment house.  On holiday he would make extended trips to Thailand.  In fact, he liked it so much that he ended up buying a condo in Bangkok.

Look at the tall tower virtually in the center.  A bit to the left - the thick highrise near the busy thoroughfare - is the Baan Sathorn Chao Phraya, where Michael bought his condo overlooking the Chao Phraya River (River of Kings).
