Been quite an exciting past couple of weeks I must say. The crew from back home and their respective missus' paid Bangkok (and I) a visit. It was a fun filled time in the city shopping, taking tours to various renowned temples, Vimmanmaek - a mansion once occupied by King Rama the 5th, Suan Lum Night Bazaar, Chatuchak weekend market, and the much hyped Bed Supperclub.
We spent the next day at the beach of Cha Am province. Some of us sat and enjoyed the scenery while the rest including yours truly had an awesome time riding the banana boat - it was definitely an adventure. After a short rest we set out to experienced a relaxing and sometimes painful, traditional foot massage which was nevertheless a pleasant encounter. So what do you have for dinner when in a seaside province? Seafood of course! We tucked into a hearty feast that night and retired straight after dinner from an exhausting but fabulous day.
The next day was started early to catch the Sampran Elephant and Crocodile show in Nakhon Pathom province. Having lived for a decade in Bangkok, I hadn't even experienced such a popular tourist destination's must-sees as a Thai citizen. Can't really blame Bangkokians, even the date I brought never visited this famed elephant sanctuary.
Overall its been a trip full of fun and laughter. I'm glad they finally made the visit they promised the last ten years! Might be another ten come the next visit.
'Better late than never'
