What was once lost, is now found...

Thank you Vietnam for helping me drop a few lb's, but Thailand....you brought it back. Although, the bowls of noodles, rice, and curry are well worth it. Luckily my trainer is back in business because when I get home I will put him into overtime.

Bangkok is great. We walked around yesterday going through the shops and looking around. We popped into this cute little "modern thai food" place for a late lunch. The 3 people next to us had already ordered and their food looked great so we gave it a go. We ordered the hot green chicken curry. Let the sweating begin. I wonder if the people next to us didn't order something spicy or if they have no sweat glands. Ethan, I think we had the thai hot you were talking about. The curry was fantastic, coupled with 2 big bottles of the local beer. Our plan was to have our daily pad thai for dinner, but we were still full from our late lunch so we decided to skip dinner.

(Until a 1am pizza stop.)

The city is huge and we haven't hit any great deals yet. We were only able to see a small portion of the city so we have a lot of exploring to do. We got so lucky that our trip landed us in Bangkok on the weekend because they have weekend markets and shops that are only open on the weekend. We got here yesterday (Friday) and we have Saturday and Sunday here.

The Mandarin Oriental Hotel is really nice. There are a ton of really nice hotels right around us actually. The Sofitel, the Pennisula, La Residence, etc. (Maybe thats why we haven't found the good deals.) We are on the "River of Kings" and it's beautiful.

If anyone has any suggestions of what we should do here, please let us know! We don't want to miss anything!!

Until next time....

Hugs from Bangkok,

Katie :)
