Good morning Bangkok! This very moment, I should have been on my way to Norway to go skiing with AC and her friends, but something came up and I ended up in Bangkok instead. I’m staying at Banyan Tree, which is a wonderful, all-suites hotel, and even though I have the smallest type of suite (a Horizon suite), I’m still spoiled with 517 sqft all to myself. The suite is on the 49th floor so I also have a great view of the city including the busy Sathon Road. In the photos below, you can see how crowded it was this afternoon. I’m glad I wasn’t stuck in traffic down there.
After checking in, I went to my room, where a delicious dragon fruit was waiting for me. Since I found out a couple of years ago that you’re not supposed to eat the outer pink shell, it has been one of my favorite exotic fruits (until then I found it a bit chewy). Looking forward to seeing what will land in my fruit bowl tomorrow.
I’ll be staying at Banyan Tree for 3 nights and then I have two nights at Shangri-La by the river. I have been to Bangkok so many times that I’ve stopped counting, so I’ve decided not to do any sightseeing this time. Instead I’m looking forward to a relaxing stay with lots of great food, massages and unwinding by the pool.
