Last night I fell asleep to this. Expecting the same weather the next.
However, I found that it had rained during the night. Some rain fell for some of the morning. Because of this, I decided to walk around the area of the hotel
Before that, I needed some breakfast. My reservation included the free buffet until 1030 am.
There was a nice selection of items ranging from hot foods to breakfast staples to dinner entrees and fruits/vegetables. Fruit salad in its own juices, pineapple juice and potato soup above the plate. On the plate was beef stroganoff, some pasta, grilled tomato, garlic bread, grilled potato and a sausage. I got some more dfor round two but I wont bore you with the details
The hotel is located on Soi 8 south of the BTS. This part of the street is pretty short and contained a number of restaurants as well as 2 7-11
Apparently, the mourning period for the king was still in place. Many pictures/images of him are found throughout Bangkok
One street over from Soi 8 is one of the well known nightlife areas
Timid looking now as its being cleaned. But, packed into this condensed space are a number of bars where girls ply there wares. Bangkok is well known for its sex trade and these bars are a meeting place to make negotiations.
By this time, the rain abided but I still journeyed out with an umbrella provided by the hotel.
