Bangkok - 11/4/2010

Bangkok, Thailand
Golden palace hotel, Sukhumvit and soi 1

Arrival after 30 door-to-door hours from Yakima to bangkok.
Alaska air to LA, then JAL to Tokyo and Bangkok.
                                                          Sukhumvit Area, Bangkok
Bangkok feels better than I had remembered.
Hotel is great centrally located at base of Skytrain and in heart of tmt restaurant area as well as near little Middle Eastern neighborhood, hooker locale snd great med center. It is good value $38 which includes wi-fi,swim pool and hearty breakfast. Next door is great spa, Hansar, with a wide range of body works.

Thai exchange rate has changed some with 29 Baht to the dollar. Our dollar went further last year.

On our way to visit with Nim, Thai textile specialist, we walked along lovely
Boulevard of embassies and classy hotels. The American site is most inviting with spacing grounds an buildings. Reminded me of our days in Cairo .
