First time in
Bangkok, I liked it.
Second time, I liked
it more.
Now, I ABSOLUTELY
LOVE IT... everything about it.
In just a few days,
I already had more adventures than I can mention. One time I ended up
taking a motor bike taxi. You basically ride on the back of a
motorbike. My guy decided that going the RIGHT way was too slow, so
he decided to speed AGAINST the TRAFFIC in the WRONG direction (not
THAT uncommon for motorbikes in Bangkok). Unbelievable experience
dodging the oncoming traffic. You don't get that in the West. But I
will think again before getting on one of those. Good for one time,
but I like my life. :)
The hotel is in a
quiet location. Great rooftop pool. I like to go early morning and
watch the city awake. I love the smells and sounds of early morning
Bangkok. :) It's nothing like I experienced in the West. The hotel
also has a great gym and is within walking distance of Bangkok's
Skytrain (you can get anywhere cheap and easy with Skytrain).
November is the
'winter' time in Thailand. The temperature has been great. At night
maybe 23 C, during the day about 35. For whatever reason, I don't
sweat during the day's heat. I don't know what happened, I still
drink enough water, but my shirt is staying dry. Unlike on previous
trips, no stomach troubles on account of spicy food either. :)
Yesterday, we went
to Wat Arun, a real landmark on Chao Phraya river. Terrific view and
lots of things to see around.
I gotta say that
Bangkok is different (..and better) when you have a native Thai
guide.
Dad is LOVING IT
maybe even more than I do.
