We left Zurich last night for our 11 hr flight to Bangkok and I think I'm really getting used to the long haul flights as it went quite quickly. Tony on he other hand is still not feeling well and is not enjoying the flights at all but he slept well on the flight. We had dinner, then I had my sleeping pill and slept for quite a while. I watched a movie and when it was finished it was almost time to land. As we were coming to Bangkok I thought it was fitting to watch the movie The Hangover 2 as it was set in Bangkok. But I can tell you Tony and I won't be getting up to any shenanigans that went on in the movie hahaha! You have to watch the movie to know what I mean.
We landed and went through immigration and customs quickly and were picked up again and taken straight to our hotel. We are staying at the Holiday Inn Silom.....well! we were treated like VIPs and we didn't have to touch our luggage. They couldn't do enough for us and all the while they were smiling and bowing. Not sure whether we bow as well.
Lots of traffic as it was peak hour.
Our room at the Holiday Inn.
The night markets are just around the corner from us so we will be visiting them tonight and our driver told us they go till 2 am. Not sure if that's a good thing!
We went to the night markets with a ride on a Tuk Tuk. Now, people have warned us but we thought it would be fun. We told he driver we wanted to go to the night markets but he had other ideas and wanted to take us to his mate that makes clothing. We said, no to the night markets please! So he asked us if we wanted to eat and proceeded to take us to the best seafood in town.....we said, no night markets please. We eventually got there but because he took us in a round about way we got lost coming home from the markets.
The Tuk Tuk driver
The night markets....they went on for ever
The markets were selling lots of the same t shirts, fake watches, bags and jewelry. But the funny part of the night was as we walked past the night clubs .... They're the ones with the beautiful young girls dancing on the bars....... they were trying to get Tony to go in! Then they started on me to go into the night clubs! Bangkok is a very interesting place at night! Did we go into the night clubs? Not telling!
Tomorrow there are more markets and temples that we want to see......but also depends on how Tony is feeling. We have all day and a check out at 2 pm. Our flight for Brisbane leaves at midnight so we've got a big day ahead.
