Left on 8th on TG to Bangkok. The 2hour flight was quite smooth and immigration/custom was easy. Took a cab to the hotel. The expressway was smooth.....until we came to near Chit Lom Central. The traffic was almost impossible! After about 15 minutes, I decided to get off the cab and walked to the hotel since it was quite near by. The hotel was Centara Grand, next to Central World. Check-in was on the 23rd floor!
After checking in...went to meet the rest of the gang. The HKG and Taiwan families have flown in earlier than me. Pope came to the hotel to meet me and we went over to Siam Paragon to meet the rest. It was really great meeting up with the families again!
Decided to have dinner at Central World and then had ice cream and chat at Wallace & Frankie's room. Early night...
Friday was an easy day. After breakfast, took a cab to Silom to look for the tailor shop for David Soh. Got off at the wrong place and after walking half an hour under the hot sun, I finally found the place! Managed to get the task done and also tailored 2 shirts for myself. Then, to meet the gang at Sala Daeng station and had lunch nearby. Wanted to have lunch at Anna's cafe but it has moved. After lunch, I went with Jack & Joseph to their hotel (Four Seasons) to collect some snacks (牛舌饼). Back to my hotel to meet up with the Asst Director of Sales for a chat.
Dinner was at the food court at Siam Paragon and Bom came to meet us. After dinner, we went to a local joint for drinks.
On Saturday morning, had to go back to the tailor shop to try my shirts. Then, back to the hotel to catch up lunch with Pah and Pobe. Have not seen Pah for a while ...she still looked very good! She would be leaving for NZ next week....famil and TRENZ. Envy her! Went to Moo Moo Paradise for Sukiyaki buffet. Great meal! So good!
Pobe brought me to Siam@Siam Design Hotel and Spa. Very nice hotel.....near to MBK. The interior is very different....no carpet, no paint...lots of metal, wood and cement. Also, very nice swimming pool....unique! 4 star hotel..... can appeal to young and arty, trendy people... not for old folks.... too modern! Hahahahahaha!
Went window shopping at MBK. We walked from Central World to MBK and back! The HKGers and Taiwanese would never do that! Hahahaha!
Was to meet the gang at Secret Garden Thai Restaurant. Managed to locate the restaurant. They enjoyed the food, especially the chocolate cake! Then to a local joint again for some drinks.
Sunday was to meet up with Chartchai (who flew back the night before from Japan). He has arranged for brunch Four Seasons. The brunch is very famous and there were lots of good food - foie gras, tiger prawns, crayfish, beef, lamb, etc...... a wide selection of desserts, free flow of champagne, juices, etc...... great food.....great price! Cost each of us Baht2700!
Some of them went massage at Healthland and some of us went shopping...... met again for dinner at Chartchai's favourite restaurant....opp Suan Lom Night Bazaar. Wallace, Frankie and I went to catch a movie - Ironman.
Departure day today.....breakfast as usual with Wallace and Frankie and then bid goodbye to them... Before I knew it.... I am back in Singapore!
It was great catching up with the families. Managed to meet up with some friends and made new friend. Thanks, everyone!
Next gathering........... China?
