Here I am with Part II of my experience in Bangkok. Thanks to helpful advice from my brother, Anne and I decided to splurge for her last night in Bangkok. We went from the very mediocre Manorha to the five-star Peninsula Hotel. It's ridiculous here. Service is awesome, the pool is really nice, and the room is immaculate (there's even a foyer in there!). I recommend taking one night here in Bangkok...or all your nights if you're rich. Anyway, to start our Sunday, we saw the biggest golden budd...
Bangkok, Thailand homerfan33The Peninsula is a terrific hotel! Very romantic to be on the river with a view of the city.
Bangkok, Thailand jbell96Ok, who wouldn't fly with an airline whose motto is "You're Safe with Us"??? Even if it were on a Russian-designed, Chinese-built aircraft? Well at least the paint job was new. Here's a picture of the airplane a Xian MA-60 which is the Chinese version of the Antonov AN-24. A very rugged plane I'm sure, but I keep remembering the motto. Actually the interior of the plane was quite modern with more space than you'd think. Service was good, a box containing a small sandwich with meat (don't ask...
Bangkok, Thailand juicer0We landed in Bangkok around 8:00am after an overnight flight from Istanbul through Qatar. I know everyone has their share of was stories form long flights (crying babies, large people in small seats next to you, body odor, etc...). I think everyone would have gotten a laugh out of the scene on this flight. We were sitting in the middle of a family of 10. We are still unsure of the relationships, but it consisted on 3 small children. The kids were very, very hyper...typical climbing around, ju...
Bangkok, Thailand laurenandyOn February 8th, Adam arrived at Bangkok and we began a two week trip with him. Sorry its been so long since we wrote our last entry, but we have been moving fast. We checked in to the Peninsula Hotel, known as one of the finest hotels in the world (we are now on a 'firm retreat') and were pampered for two days as we prepared to leave for luang prabang laos. The Peninsula was over the top fantastic. Our two nights and one day in bkk were great. During the day, Andrea enjoyed the spa, while An...
Bangkok, Thailand mirandrea1China's biggest holiday is the first week of October and we heard that there would be 800 million Chinese traveling that week. The hotels double the prices, and everything is very crowded so we decided to leave China for Thailand. After spending the few weeks in China we really needed some TLC. I phoned the Bangkok Peninsula hotel on a tip from a fellow traveler, and due to the coup travel was down so we scored a great deal on a very luxurious hotel room. We arrived in Bangkok at 2am at the n...
Bangkok, Thailand rvagabondWe catch an 8:00 am train to Koh Samui and hope that the nine-hour trip will not be too delayed so we can make the final ferry to the Peninsula Hotel where we have booked a room. Koh Samui is the third largest of the Thai islands and has a good infrastructure but is not as touristy as Phuket. I enjoy the countryside view and looking at the rice paddies where the farmers are working. As usual, the train makes me sleepy so I sleep a lot also. Finally we arrive at the Peninsula and check into ou...
Koh Saumi, Thailand shewolfHappy St Patrick's Day !! Mary just left for the airport - I am here overnight and get picked up at 5:30 am....Bangkok is a busy busy city - better to travel by boat - faster - than attempt the traffic ! Today we really did a little sightseeing in the morning then wandered around ourselves shopping in the afternoon. The Peninsula Hotel has been wonderful - actually all our hotels were special. Every time we get on the boat someone salutes us, and of course wherever you go people do a little b...
