My last two days in Bangkok (extended by one day – thanks to Thai Airways) – finally on myself (again).
I used these days for more sightseeing (Chatuchak Weekend Market, Jim Thompson’s House), shopping and going to the movies.

We arrived back in Bangkok this morning. After a taxi ride to the hotel, a big breakfast and a quick shower, I had some things to organize – an important one being laundry and more important: getting re-booked on another … Continue reading
Back to Bangkok
It was now back to Bangkok – which by now somehow feels like coming home 🙂
After breakfast in the Imtrav hotel I got repacked to finally meet up with some of the others to catch a taxi over to Khao San Road. From there I made it by foot to the good, old Viengtai hotel. Here I met parts of my new group in the evening. On Sunday morning we met up for a Khlong (canal) tour, followed by a visit of the Grand Palace.
Final Night in Bangkok
Today was the last night of the tour – we ended up in a restaurant around the corner of the hotel. After dinner we went to what turned out to be the most expensive, most scenic – yet best cocktail of the whole trip. We had that one in the rooftop bar of the Banyon Tree Hotel – on the 62nd floor. An amazing way to say good-bye to Thailand.
Bangkok
Today part two of this South East Asia trip was about to start. After a hotel change and many good-byes to the people, I had traveled with for two weeks, I now was back to zero – new group, new tour leader, new tour company – and once more a pre-departure meeting, followed by a first group dinner.
The next day we enjoyed an included long tail boat trip along Chao Phraya River and one of the khlongs (channels) around. After our return from the khlong tour, we went over to Wat Pho, the temple of the reclining Buddha – and home of the traditional Thai massage.
Bye-Bye in Bangkok
Today was the last complete day for the Cambodia Discovery tour; after a long and cramped minibus journey we finally made it into Bangkok around 17:00.
We had a farewell dinner in a local restaurant around the corner from the hotel; this was followed by some drinke in the vicinity of Khao San Road.
