Bangkok

Thanks to the generosity of Orla's parents we were treated to the luxury of 3 nights in the very fancy Marriott Hotel. The Hotel was really spectacular with amazing furnishings, but have to say the prices for food & drink were a bit of a shock. Normally in Thailand we'd spend between $2/3 each on our dinner, but in the Marriott you wouldn't get a sandwich for less than $6.

Between 11 trips to the tailors , picking up a few things for our families and trying to post the majority of our things to Australia we really didn't have enough time for the touristy things. We visited wat pho which is pretty spectacular, but as were planning on returning in the not too distant future we'll get to see that grand palace!!
