A Learning Journey - The High Life in Bangkok

I saw amazing cultural sights in Bangkok, I had two spas (one traditional - i.e. painful - Thai, the other consisted of tiny fish nibbling dead skin off my legs - honest), I shopped, I stayed in a lovely house in a exquisite compound, I ate well in Bangkok (though not as well as I had hoped). I led a charmed life.

The compound - right on the river


The view from the veranda - the orchids (one must, it seems, have orchids), the fountain, the foliage, the fish-filled waterway


The staircase in the house...


Its swimming pool. Yes, I got a flutter about "the expat life"


The fish nibbling away


The bar/resto to be in to watch the sun set on old Bangkok (there is another "it" place for sunsets on modern Bangkok - next visit!)
