Alice Does Thailand (But not that way!)
High Tech Report Department: OK, so riding an elephant may not be the most high tech thing you have ever seen, but consider this. In Bangkok where this is being written and posted live, Alice is enjoying high speed WIRELESS Internet access in her hotel room, and her Blackberry was actually working in the jungles of the Masa Elephant Camp in Chaing Mai (Northern Thailand)shown here.
True, there were techincal quirks to be found - like being able to receive email and not respond on the Backberry. Alice called it "receive-only" and it suited her just fine. But Thailand is pretty high-tech, and it shames the local Best Western when you consider that most food here is eaten on the street and a taxi costs $3.00.
