BKK is a OK

After almost half a year  since I purchased my flight tickets, the big getaway weekend had finally arrived. Yes, i have been to บางกอก numerous times. And although with each visit the mystique of this grand city  has been dented somewhat due to increasing familiarity on my part, there are still pockets of surprises to be found.

Here are some random pics from the trip

I would categorically say that this statement is NOT an exaggeration. Plus there's a sale going on. Pure heaven!

All good things must come to an end. Waiting for the flight home :(

 

 

 

 

All in all it was a great trip and definitely an escape from the tedium off the office. Looking forward to another quick getaway in a couple of weeks. This time, I'm heading off to our neighbour down south, hehe…
