Last week Greg and I went to Bangkok for 3 days and 2 nights. We stayed at Amari Watergate in Pratunam area. We didn’t take the kids with us as we were planning to do alot of walking around and we really didn’t think taking them will be the best thing. It was also Greg’s first time to Bangkok. I actually had a list of thing that I really wanted to do while we were there… Like going to the floating market (which I’ve never been!) and lots of shopping!
But in the end we didn’t get to go to the floating market as the ones that was close to town is only open on weekends and the original floating market which is open daily is like 2 hours drive away from town! Too far.. 
So in the end we just hung around town and we went to visit the Grand palace, Wat Pho and Wat Arun. Wat (temple in Thai) Pho is where the giant sleeping Buddha is and Wat Arun is suppose to be one of the oldest temples… On the first night, we also went to the Suan Lum night bazaar.
I actually felt a bit lost this trip as I’m not armed with my Lonely Planet guide book! Back in my trolley dolly days I’ll always bring along my guide book whenever I’m in a new country and I plan to go sight seeing. But this time round because we left in such a short notice and it wasn’t planned at all I didn’t get one. Sigh! Which reminds me that I need to go and buy one as I will be going back!
While we were there I also met Kate, Greg’s friend whom he met at some company team building thing… She’s such a sweet girl… The next time we go back to Bangkok she promised that she’ll take us around and eat some good Thai food.. hehehe! 
I can’t wait cause this time round also… we didn’t eat very well as we just cannot read Thai. So all we ate were some noodles from the road side (which we found by chance) and in the food court where there’s menu in English.
All in all.. it was an ok trip. But I love Bangkok…. shopping is great!! I’ll surely be back.. soon!
