Bangkok

On this trip to Bangkok we decided to stay at a hotel in the Sukumvit area rather than, as previously, in Silom.  The Kingston Suites, recommended to us by a couple we met in Chiang Mai, proved to be an excellent choice.

The visit was mainly spent in the nearby shopping malls, of which Bangkok has many! The squalid traffic laden streets, with little pedestrian walk way,  contrast violently with the sleek malls and overhead skytrain that whisks you between these malls. The latest shopping experience is Tower 21 which is designed like an airport and each floor is a city - very difficult to navigate the terminals when all you want to buy is a hairbrush because the bobbles have worn off your old one!
