Great photos. But I have to know, ”…best meal I ever had.”-what was on the menu?

Bangkok - a set on Flickr

Here's a link to all my BKK pics. Menu is included for the meal, as well as pics. There's some pics of the C class meals on the flight outbound to NRT also.

Enjoy!!

Menu! The meal, with wine was 100 USD. Well worth it!

and I'm thinking of adding a few at Lebua @ State:

This one nets out at $210 for 3 nts, should be perfect w/OW transfers at midnight. We can do this one first, go to Hua Hin or River Kwai, then back for Banyan Tree, then home.
Have you been thru the klongs yet? What about massages? Hey, ck out the flavors of pringles they sell at 7/11 type stores--wacky stuff! Gald you're have a great time.

OK...the 2nd best meal I've ever had was at Breeze, on top of the State Tower. That one was pretty darned expensive. Be warned. That's where the firework pics were taken too. Just finished my meal, and heard a pop. I stood up and went to the rail, and away they went!! Nice ringside seat!! Also, that's 2 blocks from Novotel. If you've a mind for good Brit/Irish food, there's a pub in the bottom of the Holiday Inn, catty corner across from Novotel on Silom Road. Jameson's Irish Pub, I think.

The Sky Bar at State is world renowned, go up and have a drink by all means!! Massages I did lol, daily! 7/11's there are wonderful, almost anything your heart desires can be bought there. Especially helpful at 3 am when you're starving!

I started to do the Banyan Tree, thru the Lux Link you sent me, but our rate at Novotel was 50 a night, wtf you cannot beat that, plus I had Accor points to burn. 5 nights, with my laundry, restaurant and bar bill wound up costing me 167 out of pocket!

Did you like the area around Silom Novotel? We may consider doing that for first nt. Love those bathroom roll shades. Shame on you--leaving the seat up! Bad habit...hahahaha

I loved your pictures. I always hesitate to use FB since my alter ego put her name on it. Somehow, she gets alot of junk posted on her page and she doesn;t know how to do the settings.
I highly suspect I know what your main activity was in BKK, after seeing all those beautiful dishes. My niece and I ate our way thru the city (and Hua Hin) and did a cooking class. 5 days just wasn't enuff, was it? When are you going back?
Your fireworks pics are excellent, BTW. Loved the lotus flower ones. What kind of camera did you use? Also--was the tall tower the Novotel?
If you do go back, I highly recommend going to the River Kwai for a day or two. Also, the weekend night market at Amphawa. Do a homestay nearby on the river. You watch all the food being prepared on boats in the large canal (a very clean one BTW) Point and they cook and pass it up to you. Everyone sits on benches, eats and drinks beer. BYOB if you want wine. Take a boat at dusk to see the fireflies--masses of them!

seriously--river kwai is not to be missed. Phuket and those places are just Aussie playgrounds. Checkout LL 137 Pillars hotel in CM--I want to add that to our trip. Just came up on LuxLink.
