Bangkok

Got into Bangkok early morning on a 1/3 full Thai flight, was able to stretch out across 3 seats across the back and enjoy superior service. Arrived in Bangkok to meet up with an old work colleague PJ aka Paul. Anyway PJ has been here many a time and so he slowly showed me around on what would be my holiday from my holiday. I slowly adjusted to the tourist way of life here where for once the AUD was stronger than the local currency, this meant late starts to the day, an afternoon and evening meal accompanied by some Chang or Singha.

There are temples everywhere of which one we did visit up the road and of course many shopping malls with magnificent air conditioning.
One day I decided to visit the Independence Monument but it starting raining monsoon buckets that even the raised footbridge just below the skytrain was flooded.

But otherwise basically didn’t really do much in Bangkok except a few long nights out when both PJs older twin brothers were in town...
