Bangkok City

From Siam Center

Our next destination is Loas. Being a ways away, we hoped a flight from Krabi up to Bangkok. I'll avoid a 12hr train ride whenever I can. Air Asia makes it so easy to book throughout SE Asia. They're cheap, they go everywhere and have open seating. Making them the Southwest of the Southeast.

We only stayed over a couple nights before taking the train north. Just long enough to check out the Siam Center. Bangkok's eight story mall. The place is immense and contains everything a good mall should. Movie theater, bowling, spa, Sizzler, McDonald's and Dairy Queen (all on the 7th floor). It is the epidemy of excess and overspending. It's way over the top and we, along with everyone else in there, couldn't get enough of it.

So after my Big Mac meal and DQ Oreo Blizzard, I accompanied Sus to the Sex and the City Movie. Yes, it was one long commercial for high end retailers, had a guessable story line and lasted more than 2 hrs, but it was all worth it for the foax Cosmo they handed out prior to its start. Oh, the recliner like seats and individual blankets where also a plus.

The next day we caught the train to Nung Khai.
