I have been travelling so much in the recent months, including the short getaway to JB. Right after we came back from JB, I was again jetting off to Bangkok. This time for a week long business meeting.
At least it was flying SQ this time. I managed to watch a nice Korean movie in the short 2 hours' flight and eat in peace.
The meeting was held at the Millennium Hilton Hotel that it was a short ferry ride from Asiatique. The room was huge and comfy.
A work in progress building was right outside my room window.
But I could see the Chao Phraya river too! I know, the color of the water isnt too appealing. It looks much nicer in the night. Lol.
The meetings were intense, starting early in the morning followed by team dinners. Each night, I turned in close to midnight and wake up at 6am or earlier. See the extra grey hairs!
What was plentiful was also a lot of eating and tasting of market products. On one of the nights, I had huge juicy lobster and prawns at Asiatique.
On another night, it was an expensive dinner at Vertigo, on the 59th floor of the Banyan Tree hotel.
We literally paid for the ambient. For this little fish, it was a set meal that cost over S$150! Serious!
The good thing was that the dinners generally didnt end too late, mostly 9ish.
We had R&R as well. One of the mornings, it was a tour to the floating market. However, bcos it was so far away and the traffic is notorious, the journey started at freaking 6.30am! The journey took over 1.5 hr each way. I ended up feeling more tired than recharge. Haha. Shouldnt complain... better than no R&R.
The mango sticky rice was to die for. I had mango sticky rice like EVERYDAY. Woohoo!
Bcos I was constantly eating, I was compelled to hit the treadmill. I ran 4 out of the 5 days but I am sure I still ate more than I burnt. Zzzz. Lol. Too much good food.
The meeting ended on Friday 4pm and I was on my way to the airport at 4.30pm to beat the traffic. My 9pm flight was slightly delayed but arrived on time.
I was dead tired, arriving home only at 1.30am. I need to sleep. This travelling is so tiring but I have achieved much. Hehe.
