Room with a View in Bangkok
I’m wrapping up a fantastic adventure in Siam as a guest of the Tourism Authority of Thailand. The trip has been filled with many high points, one of which was a stay at the top of the city at the Lebua State Tower.
From my suite on the 52nd floor, the ancient city of Bangkok sprawled out like an animated map below. Though the view was a bit vertigo-inducing, I was surprised to clearly hear the shrieks of schoolkids playing soccer, Buddhist monks engaged in their evening chants, and smell the salt and spice of street vendors’ wares wafting to my nose up at this high perch. It was exhilarating to step out onto the balcony, which I eagerly did first thing each morning and every time I returned to my room.
There will be many more stories from Thailand to come – including more about my stay at the Lebua – in the coming weeks. For now, enjoy the view with me!
If you haven’t already, be sure to take in some more travel photos over at Delicious Baby’s Photo Friday!

Thailand has so much to offer to visitors seeking an authentic experience of Southeast Asian culture and traditions. Too bad, the recent political upheavals have kept many potential visitors away, for the time being. I hope they’d get their act together and make Thailand as welcoming, as it used to be. Looking forward to your posts about your Thailand vacation in the days ahead. Take care and enjoy.
You can have the ideal holiday in Thailand usually, one of the finest locations for holiday break. Quite low cost compared to european standards. Women and people are so nice and hotel is up to standart usually.
