Walking the City, Thai style

We were still suffering from jet lag, what with the one hour difference between Manila time and Bangkok time. (Shempre char lang na may jet lag.)

When we first arrived at the hotel, we were laughing at its location. Alvin's press release was that it was in an up-and-coming neighborhood near the market, we didn't realize he meant market literally, as in wet market.


We were already up by 8 in the morning. We partook of the complimentary buffet breakfast. In fairness! Ang sarap! we overloaded on their croissant. Then after contributing to the cause of the Red Shirt Movement (hahaha!), we headed out. We did not know the extent of the day's rallies so we decided to avoid major roads and tourist destinations. We enjoyed a very long lunch at a restaurant that I forgot to take note of because I was so hungry, but we had a hearty feast of authentic Thai food.

We had coffee at Au Bon Pain where Elaine lost her sim card. We just lounged around - they were not up to doing anything "touristy" - so I had to make do with walking a few blocks away from the coffee shop and back, while thinking all the while eh ginagawa ko naman to sa Maynila ah!

While waiting for them to have their massages finished, I walked a bit more.
