Yesterday morning I woke up refreshed
after a good sleep. We arrived the night before after a long flight
from Seattle to Tokyo to Bangkok. I thought I was going to miss out
jet lag but last night I couldn't sleep and today I have been
staggering around totally unable to figure out what time it is,
Our 39th anniversary was on
the 6th, but because we crossed the international date
line we essentially missed it. So yesterday, the 7th, we
celebrated with dinner at 22 Kitchen, at the top of the Dusit Thani
Hotel, where we stayed the first two nights. The views were great
and the food was even better. I had clam chowder and then scallops,
both cooked in a unique style. Nick, the young chef from Hawaii, was
up checking on how everyone liked their food. We complimented him on
his food and his presentation, which was beautiful.
On the flight out we each watched about
a half dozen movies, including Mocking Jay (part 1,) Finding Vivian
Maier, 300; Birth of an Empire, The Drop, Happy Feet 2, The
Equalizer, and more. So what did we do on our first day in Bangkok,
after getting a foot massage? We went to the movies. We saw Chapie
in a posh theater where they give you a blanket and hot coffee and a
muffin from Starbucks as you relax in your private luxury seat. The
theater was great, the movie so so, a cross of Wall-E and Robocop.
Today we stretched breakfast time out
for a couple of hours then did some errands, packed our suitcases,
and took a taxi to our current hotel, The Anantara Sathorn. We have
a big room, actually two rooms, on the 19th floor. After
dinner we went to Zoom, the rooftop bar, 39 floors up, where I took
in the specatular views while Nonnie kept a death grip on her
chair.
Tonight Colin, Sarah, and Oran arrive
and I will go to the airport to meet them. Then we have three days in Bangkok before we go north to Sangklaburi.
