Bangkok Baby

What a lovely way to spend a week, with my dear Dan and Tash, in Bangkok and in a glorious luxurious hotel, thank you you both for the treat, company and fun.

This week was a combination of sightseeing, bimbling around and spending time together. The weather incredibly hot and humid but we still managed to walk, talk, eat and enjoy our surroundings.

We celebrated the Big 50 for Dan by checking into a fancy pants hotel, drinking cold beers in the heat on Khao San Road and then eating constantly for 4 hours on a food tour with our guide, Ton, and one other guest Kallie. Amazing food and an interesting wander mainly round China town but far too much food.

Sights seen during our time in Bangkok ; Wat Mangkon Kamalawat, Wat Phra Chetuphon Wimon Mangkharalam (Amazing temples, memorials and the famous reclining MASSIVE Buddha), the Grand Palace, Wat Arun (from a distance), China Town, Talat Noi (very cool little tour of local life and street art by our special tour guide, Dan, aged 50!), Lumphini park (Including it's resident wildlife of birds and monitor lizards), Chatuchak Weekend Market and the "party" life in Kaoh San Road and Sukhumvit.

We've had a great time in Bangkok but the time has come to say goodbye to my dear Dan and Tash, them to return to normal life and work and me to head up north to Chiang Mai.Read more
