Our friends Richard and Nasura Frankel have built in the past three years a wonderful, beautiful, comfortable home at the foot of the forested mountains near the Mae Fah Luang campus. Richard teaches at the same university environmental program as does David; they have known each other for (literally) 40 years, since they taught together at the Asian Institute of Technology (AIT) in Bangkok in 1968/69. Near their home is a cute little restaurant owned and run by an entrepreneur named "Ping Pong" (really!!!). Photos below show both the Frankel's home and Ping Pong's restaurant.
