What a treat this is, far faster than the dial-up speed of Cambodia, and it's free at the Sheraton, have to love that.
Flight back to Bangkok was good, even had a jet, no propellors.
Got to the Sheraton however my room wasn't ready so I had to go and check out the streets of Bangkok, off to the MBK Centre, but no retail frenzy, then off for a walk on the Sky Walk which is a walkway right under the Sky Train (photo attached, you'll see it in the middle of the road if you click and enlarge it) which goes up the middle of various streets around 20m off the ground, caught the Sky Train back to the hotel via the Siam interchange, I must admit, it's pretty spooky being on a train 20m in the air, especially when it goes around corners. Then got the free hotel ferry back from the train station when it ended at the river. Photo of the river from my room attached. And another of only part of the city skyline.
Took in the evening at the terrace bar just watching the barges, dinner ferries, water taxi's & buses go by. Decided to stay off the solids for the night and just enjoyed the view and the breeze.
Today I had a sleep-in then off to the MBK Centre to spend, not much though, just a few small gifts for folks back home.
About to hit the pool for a few hours, check out the peacocks, then off for the buffet dinner, which is about the best one I've ever seen, then some Euro2008 viewing.
When we stayed here 2 weeks ago they were setting up for a function so I took some photos of their set building, don't worry, Rentals aren't in trouible yet.
Anthony Spaz is in town but he hasn't emailed he his details, so I will be having a quiet one before Panthip Plaza tomorrow for software and then to the airport and home to my girl!!!
Take care, weather is here, wish you were beautiful.
