Bangkok - The City of Fun!

by sailor_p - last update: Sep 16, 2006

A Trip Filled With Pleasant Surprises!!!

Bangkok - The City of Angels
For the year for 2006, I visited Bangkok three times - Feb, June and Aug! I always discovered something new for every trip. Bangkok is indeed exciting - I simply love the place! I am always there for mouth-watering local food, heavenly spa treatments and non-stop happy shopping!

So, do feel free to visit my Bangkok page for tips and do give me your comments!

My First Trip to Bangkok

My first trip to Bangkok was in February 2006. It was a trip that filled with many surprises as I met a number of friends unexpectedly in Bangkok. Most of all, I also met up with my sailing coach, Tonny Tan, or Uncle Tonny, whom we fondly called in Bangkok. Thank God for his friends, otherwise I would be really lost in Chatuchak Weekend Market!
Having a great time out with fellow sailors!

Many more trips to come!

Little did I know that I would be back to Bangkok in June 2006 (barely four months after I've visited Bangkok). This time, I was actually heading for Sattahip, for the annual Sing-Siam Sailing Regatta. As I need to be back to office, I still managed to squeeze in a 2D1N stay in Bangkok. I really enjoyed myself this time as I am more familiar with Bangkok and had a blast of time exploring the spas, shopping and trying out new eateries. It's a pity that I only had such short time, still, I had a bash of time this round!

Latest Update: I was back to Bangkok again in Aug 2006. I had a great time there - making more discoveries in Bangkok. Not only that, I met up with fellow VTers in Bangkok.

 Stumbled across this gem on first trip to Bangkok. Food fantastic. Staff friendly and helpful. If around Siam Square, it's a place I'll gravitate to for lunch or dinner. Arm could be twisted to do both. Great food, great value.

 Re Suan Lum Night Bazaar. It's not pronounced see-lom, it's soon-lum. Silom (see-lom) is nearby, but a completely different place.
