Bangkok has always been familiar to me, a lively city of narrow streets, crazy traffic, polite people, glutinous desserts, cheap shopping, amazing fashion and a madcap stream of visitors, from the posh, five-star vacationer to the traveling businessman to the nomadic backpacker.

Dining out is always a stimulating event as there are few things in life that satiate us more than a wonderfully done-up meal. Take stellar food coupled with a fantastic ambience and you’ve got a great thing going. There’s nothing that’s as happily satisfying as this formula.

Let’s move on. It’s pouring outside! And just to break the camel’s back, the rains seem to take turns with heavy hard-hitting humidity each day. So, it’s wet and you want to cover up and stay dry but the insane amount of perspiration you produce makes you want to undress and take your third shower of the day.

Bangkok has maintained its beauty and charm, but best of all, it has preserved its culture which they have excellently blended with the  modern world that has come knocking on the kingdom’s door for centuries.
