Bangkok has changed a lot since I last visited the place last 2004. They have several high speed trains such as the BTS and MRT. So it's faster and cheaper to go around Bangkok. Moreover, they now have new shopping malls such as Siam Paragon, Central World and my favorite Platinum Fashion Mall which is like our shopping centres in Greenhills but much better and cheaper!
We were there from 13 - 27 October. Kuya Chito was kind enough to allow us to stay in one of his condo units in Sukhumvit 13. The following week we flew to Phuket from 22 - 25 Oct. This is my second time to visit the place. The first one was before the Tsunami. This time it looked better than before. They rose above the disaster and improved the place. It is more tourist friendly.
With our Aussie dollar, we had better spending power to shop, eat delicious Thai food and visit great places. Truly a fun-filled and memorable holiday!
