Three Nights in Bangkok

I spent the last three days in Bangkok, partially on a work trip, and here are some photos.

Here’s how the photos pan out :-

• The first four are on the way from the airport to the hotel.
• The next seven are of the hotel, both views from the balcony and inside. Man what a huge ‘room’! (“This place is bigger than our whole apartment”) Why is it that I get a room like that a night before working? It was just begging for a party.
• The next umteen shots are taken from buses on the way to Sanam Luang, the central open space in Bangkok, and then around Sanam Luang. Thailand is currently in political crisis. The prime minister, Thaksin, is under fire for selling his multi-billion-dollar business interests to the government of Singapore [ say the allegations, while Singapore claims it’s a private transaction tihsllub ]. The Thais are angry about the deal on many levels, mainly that Thaksin hasn’t paid taxes on the transaction, and that Thailand has lost assets ‘of the people’ overseas.
• The last two shots are of Dave and Yok, then myself and Dave.

My weekend was great, until calamity struck on the way home; I lost my beloved iRiver DAP! It probably fell off my belt in the taxi.
