Bangkok

DAY 1 – SIGHT SEEING IN BANGKOK

10 Million People in Bangkok, I think we saw 6 Million of them today!! What a city, it combines state of the art highways, with congested secondary streets. Anything and everything you could ever want to see or do along with some of the most stunning architecture you could ever imagine. The city is quite evident absent of a middle class as we in the Western World are so accustom to. It is a very beautiful city in it’s own right. We had an absolutely fabulous lunch at a small family owned restaurant Nakorn Pochana, followed by a River Boat Ride through the Canal, which I would recommend to anyone. It was a great way to see the lives of the people that live there, that you would never see, by just driving through the city. Next, we had a 2 hour massage at Grand Diamond, which was absolutely the most relaxing way to set the sun on our first night in Bangkok, only to open the door for dinner in the Japanese section of town that was hopping with night life of all sorts. We had an equally amazing meal for dinner at Miraku, a Japanese Grill, a bit of wine, made a new friend and went back to the SC Park Hotel. Enjoy the pictures!!
