    Exploring BKK‘s Heights

    October 22, 2022 in Thailand ⋅ ☁️ 31 °C

    Our second day in Bangkok started with not having breakfast in the hotel (apparently we were too late 😅🙈) so we went straight into the city.
    We were lucky and found two lovely places to get something to eat. Pascal was enjoying the most fluffiest pancakes I have seen and I decided to have a super spicy ramen soup. When the waitress approached us asking if we are alright, we had to laugh. She said she was worried about us because of the spiciness. And I have to admit it was REALLY spicy! Now, we are Thai-spicy proven travelers. 🍜🍲

    Afterwards we commuted by skyTrain (absolutely recommendable) to the Mahanakhon SkyWalk. It was so amazing to see all of Bangkok on the 71st level of this skyscraper. You also have the chance to walk on a glass floor. WOW – it really took me (Pascal not so much, he was even jumping on the glass 😅) some power of self-persuasion to step on it. But when you do, it is really worth it as you have a bird view-like experience. We soaked in this great atmosphere for some time while having two nice cocktails. Up there we could already spot our tonight’s dinner location: Sirocco Sky Bar with its golden dome. 😍🤩

    Therefore, we got changed and travelled back downtown for our dinner experience on the 64th floor this time. It is hard to describe how it feels to be guest in this restaurant. Let me put it this way.
    It feels like you are dreaming as everything looks just so stunningly unreal. ✨🙈
    A vast view of Bangkok by night, with all the pulsing little lights. Perfectly set tables, nicely arranged and so many waitresses and waiters who are there to make the dinner experience a special one.
    Besides amazing food and wine that we enjoyed, we also spotted many lightnings in the night sky. Thus, we were wondering how Sirocco handles evenings with rain and how that would work out, as all tables are set open air?? 🤔
    🤭 Lucky us, we had the chance to witness it. 😅🌧☔️
    After our first 3 courses, we needed to take a short break inside. But don’t worry, we could come back outside after roughly 15 minutes to continue with our main course. Later, it started raining AGAIN 😂 but this time, we decided to enjoy rainy Bangkok under our umbrella while having the whole terrace for ourselves. You could think: damn…why the hell did it need to rain TODAY!?
    But for me, the rain and thunder made it even more special and distinct. ✨
    In the end, it’s your perspective that has the power to experience something in a nice or negative way. So always watch your thoughts and feelings, they are powerful! DAY 2 – you have been amazing. Thank you!
