Bangkok Holiday 29 - 31 Aug

Just returned from short holiday to BKK recently despite uncertain and unrest news in Thailand keeps telecasting in TV and broadcasting on the radio....

I scrampled to purchase the most coverage plan of travel insurancee, get our details updated in MFA - just in case we needed to be evacuated in a very short notice in BKK while we were there.

We arrived BKK in the later afternoon and took a cab to the city.... it was smooth sailing until we exited the expressway, entering into the heart of the city...... we caught in a jam. What's new about this in BKK actually...... As we snailed the roads to our hotel in Siam Square.... I scruntised the streets in the city like I never been to BKK before.... everyone gets on with their lives as usual.....businesses go on, tourists out in the streets - never stop buying... the Thais too..... getting on with their daily lives.....

We quickly checked into our room and started roaming the streets as quickly as possible.... Siam Square is filled with many Thai youngsters and tourists...... same over at MBK, abundant of tourists of all nationalities.... You never felt a ting of unrest, riot, etc. going on...... though there are more securities around in shopping malls and hotel vicinity... However, you will just dimiss them as extra security measure for the safety of all rather than it is due to the unrest at the somewhere government house in BKK city.

To cut the long story short, I practically did 4 things during my stay in BKK and they are - SHOP - EAT - MASSAGE - SLEEP....... Nothing else..... It was so relaxing and I am really enjoy the time I had in BKK.....

This is the 3rd time I been to Bangkok and it is only this time that I have a better impression of BKK...can you believe it?

Anyway, I loved the hassle free and BKK is definitely my top list for a short getaway....


LATEST - the sudden turn of events as reported on news is appalling.... BKK will be turning into state of emergency any time now if the unrest keeps spreading.....
