สวัสดีค่ะ (sawadeeka)

Finally made it in Bangkok!! Here’s my beautiful room at Rembrandt Hotel & Towers, just off of Sukhumvit Road. My experiences of Bangkok so far are pretty limited (I haven’t made it out of the hotel yet!), but there are a LOT of cars. Which only seem to have a max. speed of 50mph. And nutters on mopeds. The city looks a bit like some whacko architect decided to build a load of skyscrapers in the middle of a rainforest, too. Bizarre, but I guess it works. Criticism of the traffic system and architecture aside, there is one thing i have learned in my first day in Thailand (besides ‘hello’ – the title of this post): I can now safely say that I would wholeheartedly recommend a Thai massage to anybody. Now, I’m not saying it’s not 90 minutes of absolute torture – where my entire body was at the mercy of some incredibly strong Thai woman, pushing and prodding my muscles into shapes I never thought possible – but I left the spa feeling absolutely invigorated (if not ever so slightly disappointed that I wasn’t even offered a ‘happy ending’) 😉 Anyway, off for an early one now… Have booked a class at a Thai Cookery School for tomorrow morning and anyone that knows me will know that this in itself is a recipe (sorry) for disaster!!
