Summary

On Christmas Eve in Thailand, he decorates a tree, visits a Christmas market, and searches unsuccessfully for turkey. He shows a new 60,000-baht MacBook Pro, worries about its weight and security, and considers an Air instead. The 1,300-baht, two-hour buffet includes turkey, duck, Chinese dishes, burgers, and soup; the cold room quickly chills the food.

Insight
