Heading back to Sydney, I decided to have a holiday in South East Asia, starting in Bangkok. Leaving Hong Kong was easy. The string quartet is a new feature at the airport!
Massaman curry!
I woke early the next morning and had breakfast in the hotel, which is included in the rate of THB1,700 (AUD68). Then I went for a walk to the river...
I tried a Bangkok Sling which was good...
Wat Arun is quite beautiful. I have been there before on a previous trip...
Went here and tried the mussel pancake...
It was very good...
The squid looked amazing but I didn't try, as the queue was too long...
But I did try the shark fin soup. It wasn't bad...
Then stopped for a flat white (THB100)...
Then I walked back to the hotel and used the gym which is not bad. After that I had another massage!
That night I went to a rooftop bar near my hotel called AkaAza, in the Amara Hotel. Lovely night.
The next morning after breakfast I went for a walk to Lumphini Park and then on to Benchakitti Park where they have a nice 'skywalk'. It is very hot and there are not many people around.
Then walked back to hotel and used the gym. After that I had another massage which cost THB700 (AUD28) plus tip. I wasn't sure what to tip but I gave them THB300.
Had a wander through a local market and bought an avocado and passionfruit juice. I also had my hair cut.
That night I caught a Grab to the Eagle Nest to watch the sunset over Wat Arun.
This part of Bangkok is the old part, where all the famous temples are...
I had some satays and a beer...
After that, I walked to the flower market which was close by. Then I caught a Tuk Tuk to Chinatown...
This guy is cooking noodles. There was a queue. I had some and they were very good...
It was very busy for a Tuesday night...
Then caught a Grab back to the hotel and slept. Early morning tomorrow as I am heading to Siem Reap.
