After checking into The Cottage, we headed to the Paseo Market and Mall which is quintessential Bangkok. Open air, fruit juices, market vendors, with a touch of western style (aka Starbucks).

After a few hours of pounding the markets we had a delicious Thai dinner with some interesting dishes some of us hadn’t tried before.

We are now back in the hotel relaxing, with some people cooling off in the pool. Very impressed with the hotel for our 18 hour layover.

Tomorrow we have a…3:30 am…bus taking us back to the airport for a 6:40 am departure. Let’s hope we can get a few hours of sleep tonight!
