Bangkok

Bangkok is definitely one of my favorite places to visit. In fact, I've been there at least 20 times in the past. I was in Bangkok from May 1-5 just this past weekend and as always, had a great time. Why do I keep going to the same places? I mean after a few times you get to become familiar with the place, why go again? That's the exact reason why I keep going back especially if I like the place. I make new friends all the time and I start to accumulate a list of favorites in a city. My favorite bread shop, a good tea room, the best supermarket and the best fried rice joint. The list is endless and everytime I go, I find something new that I add to that list.

The food in Bangkok is delicious and I have yet to find a place where I had bad local food. As for international cuisine, it's hit or miss. I had really bad pasta where it's overcooked and the pasta sauce was overly sweet for some strange reason. I had terrible Japanese food a couple of times and I have yet to find a good slice of cake in Thailand. However that gives me more reason to keep on visiting.

This time I stayed at the Conrad Hotel for two nights and just one night at the Dusit Thani. The Conrad was nice and modern. However I still preferred the Dusit Thani especially after their renovation. The Dusit Thani has great service, wonderful restaurants and convenience that can't be beat. I cannot say enough about the Dusit Thani Hotel and I will definitely stay there again.

Hmm....maybe I ought to go again next month.

Hey this is Mark from California. I happened to read your blog and I'm now hooked! I kinda have the same feeling as you for Tokyo. I'm going to visit Tokyo later this month and it'll be my 7th time lol.
