Family Vacation ~ Bangkok ~ August 08




My two boys got their first taste of a plane flying to bring them to another destination. Bangkok was selected because of the relatively short travel time. Thank God it was a pleasant experience for them. The hotel, sights, street restaurants, shopping, cafes and hawkers and of course, the Chao Phraya river - made the stay memorable. I have always believed that it's not the number of different locations which you rush to visit which matter but the leisurely time taken to savour the delights which may crop up anytime - that makes the trip a unique one.

The MRT is a breeze there and the food experience was great. Shopping ~ Paragon is an expensive place but of course we went to the bargain places like MBK and Chatuchak. The strong Singapore currency made the purchases worthwhile.
