Firstly....Bangkok!!!
The view from a tuk-tuk!! We raced around in one of these (futilely) on the day of our departure... I say futilely because we should have realized nothing would be open at 8:30am. I blame my mom and her insane sms asking us to bring back a batch of lotus seeds (for propogation)...on a Monday. I mean, c'mon. We spent both Saturday and Sunday at Chatuchak...and she couldn't've remembered to ask for it then???
I don't think that dude realized his CarryBoy*tm* was flapping up, ready to bitch-slap an unsuspecting motorcyclist on the face.
The view of the pool from the balcony of our room on the 26th floor. I have pics of every room in our 2-room suite. I thought it was really nice of them to upgrade our one-room suite to a two-room, but totally unnecessary. There was just me and the hubby. However, it was fully equipped for long stays, so I'll definitely be recommending the Somerset to my family...
That's the bar-style dining table, and beyond that is a complete kitchen. It's got the necessary cutlery for a family of four, cooking utensils, stove, oven, microwave, toaster, full-sized fridge, washing-up detergent that came complete with an unopened scouring sponge, and an exhaust fan (hubby says that's what it's called...) to clear the air of redolent cooking scents.
The contrast of Bangkok. Right outside our hotel, an old housing area. Somewhat shabby, run-down, grungy. And right next door is that building. On the same block. Beyond that is the "lake" that our hotel is named after, directly in front of the Queen Sirikit Convention Centre. The musical fountain provided some interesting lighting at night.

I didn't take any pictures while I was roaming the city, I was spending too much time shopping and enjoying the accent of the recorded voice they play on the MRT... :D I was just glad to have hubby back. We were on a budget (which we blew), yet managed to have as much fun as possible.
