After the convention was over, Dad & I headed to Bangkok for a little leisure time.
We checked into the Hyatt Erawan, it’s a lovely hotel. A little older but still very nice. Here’s the lobby, there’s trees! Not real trees but still a nice touch.
View from our room. Nothing spectacular.
Bangkok waterways
Near the hotel, there is a temple.
Lots of traffic in Bangkok.
This cab driver tried to cheat us. Stay away from this man.
Headed straight for food. I love thai iced tea! I could drink this stuff all day!
This one is 25 Baht. you can get them on the street for 10 baht (Php 14.)
The fruits are so yummy. Here’s some mangosteen.
Fried veggie cake (I’m not sure if this is what it’s officially called.) I used to order this stuff from my neighborhood Thai place when I still lived in New York so I was thrilled to find it in Thailand. It doesn’t look appetizing but I really like it.
Tub Tim Krob or water chestnuts in coconut milk. Yummmmmy. One of my favorite Thai desserts.
The real reason why we came to Thailand – Sticky Rice & Mango!
Shopping in MBK. Huge mall, didn’t find anything to buy. The shopping is much better in Platinum Mall (for women’s clothing and accessories).
Saw this sign in the fitting room. Your makeup might be scary. Beware.
There’s shopping everywhere in Bangkok, even on the sidewalks.
If you ever find yourself in Bangkok, two must-do’s: Shop and Eat. 🙂
