BKK Again & Again

Bkk is not only about shopping, some sightseeing is good for balancing out the frantic rushing from one shop to another. For that purpose, we visit Baiyoke Sky Hotel, the tallest building in Bkk, where an observation deck is created on the 80-something floor. Also because we stayed at Baiyoke Boutique, situated behind Baiyoke Sky, it was convenient to go.

Baiyoke Sky is quite grand, pity I didn’t pick the right Baiyoke to stay, but that’s another story for later.

The pool we were entitled to use but didn’t have the chance to.

At the observation deck, which we deviously slipped in for free. That’s a total savings for Bht360.

Ok, by now I think you get the point that Baiyoke is a VERY tall building.

Some boring cultural stuff at the gallery…

An outdoor version of the indoor gallery observation deck. Apparently you can buy a dove for Bht50 and set it free here, though I think it might die the moment it flies out into the scorching sun.

The metal ground he’s standing is a revolving travelator that moves round the tower.

The view. Not much different from the gallery a few floors down.

It was so hot the photos looked over-exposed.

Dinner that day at a multi-award winning Thai restaurant called Baan Khanitha, in Soi Ruamrudee, for high quality Thai food in a traditional atmosphere at Singapore price. What a mouthful...

Really good tom yum goong, not too sour & not too spicy. Fires up your appetite.

Tamarind prawns

Thai salad & wrapped chicken.

We had green curry & mango sticy rice too, but no photos. All the dishes tastes so good. At Singapore price, I suppose the food has to be good. If you’re round the corner, I would recommend it for the relaxing dining atmosphere.

Stay tuned for final episode.
