It's been a few days in Bangkok and one word I keep saying to myself is "overwhelming". It's full-on sensory overload but in a good way. Once we landed and made our way to customs, Ya-Ya turned around and said to me, "Welcome home baby". Immediately became teary eyed but held it together as we proceeded through customs. I will point out that entering through customs was the most expediated, organized and efficient process coming into any country that I've traveled to. Also, queuing a taxi at the airport was amazingly easy and quick through a kiosk line that assigns you a driver.
The condo I booked at Sky Villas (adjacent to the Ascott) in the Business District, is amazing and very happy that I booked a 2 bedroom/2 bath for the time that we're here. Lots of activity and just walking distance to Top Market where we do our grocery shopping and grab most meals at the food court. This is located at the Empire Tower The Empire | Asset World Corporation.
Heading to Kaeng Khoi (Northeast of Bangkok), district of Saraburi. Will see my family whom I haven't seen in 45 years and like most things I like to do, I will be eating very well. I will have section dedicated to all the food experiences later next week. Meantime, enjoy the initial pictures of the last few days touring Wat Pho, Wat Arun and Wat Traimit in Chinatown.
Nice video, loved the reclining golden Buddha.
