Emporium Suites Bangkok

We have returned to Bangkok for 5 nights at the end of our travels and have been booked into a very nice luxury hotel. On the Saturday we went to the weekend Chatuchak Market which was really good and bought loads of stuff! Zoe has also decided to get some handmade suits and so we have been visiting the tailors for the past few days for fittings.<br><br>We ...

... Susan is 31 and Brian is 32. Very strange though, and I suspect the owner, a rather angry-looking and unfriendly man, had other reasons. As I'd never carry my passport on a night out, especially in Bangkok, I couldn't prove my age. Susan reckoned I was too pretty and the owner was just jealous.<br><br>Me and Troy , as a result of this inconvenience, went for a pint at an Irish pub round the corner, while Brian and Susan went into the bar. An hour or so later ...

... from one of the places in the airport, not the best but still good as I've been missing this dish something chronic!<br><br>After a bit of shopping round the airport it was time to board another uneventful flight.<br><br>Arrival through Suvarnabhumi airport wasn't bad, waited at Immigration a bit longer than usual but still not bad.<br><br>We actually managed to pick up a really ...

Bangkok, City of Angels; full of temples, Buddhism, and people trying to hock their wares. I made it safely from Hong Kong to Bangkok where I made my way to the Novotel to try and ward off some of the jetlag. It is a beautiful hotel and I am looking forward to my stay there on the way home. I had an amazing room with a huge bathroom and king size bed. <br><br>This ...

... me even more<br>nervous to visit say Cambodia or Laos as apparently for basically any<br>type of medical problem you want to come back to Thailand, and I<br>wouldn't let these people put a needle into me so it's a bit troubling.<br>We will see how this pans out but I'm thinking I want to maybe go some<br>place where I don't automatically stick out as a foreigner and the<br>percentage of English speakers is higher. I'm very strongly leaning<br>towards this idea as spending several ...

... but I didn&#8217;t really see a great deal of the city, one night myself and a guy I met in the hostel Rhodri went out for a few buckets on Th Kho San Rd, two Thai girls came over and started chatting with us, they seemed nice enough but I got the impression they were working girls. After a few drinks they offered to buy us a bucket which we accepted, I got a little suspicious when they declined to drink any of it, my suspicion was aroused further when a wave of ...

... side. Talk about 'money talks.'<br>Crossed over the bridge, and on up to Vientiane and the old familiar surroundings. <br>It might be more interesting to note that while waiting for a relatively sub standard bus to convey me on the last leg of the day's journey, one of the straps of my pack began to tear away: 'Damn! Bother! Blast!' Well, you shouldn't buy cheapy things, like shoes, another example.<br>Laos roads, the highway's no ...

... introductions we sat back for a nice evening of chat! John is a tax inspector taking some time out to teach at a school around the corner which he does every year apparently. Dave is the owner of the hotel and travelled extensively so between them they managed to give us some good tips of where to stay when we head to PHNOM PENH. An older guy called Ruben joined us he was an interesting chap. We left them about 10 due to our early start&#8230; Gnite All&#8230;<br><br>

... to our hotel... <br><br>It was the first time in Bangkok for both of us and our first impressions were, erm, rather 'aromatic'! <br><br>I thought that we might have accidentally got off the bus at the local sewerage facility but no, this was a main road. The smell was pretty awful, but I guess welcome to Bangkok! <br><br>It was also cloudy but VERY warm &amp; humid. <br><br>Big rucksacks on our backs + small rucksacks on our ...
