Back in Bangkok

Back in Bangkok

After three nights in Vientiane, we took the overnight train to Bangkok. We enjoyed the heat, the chaos, the traffic, the pollution but also all the amazing food! It was so hot that we opted to spend most of the time indoors. We went to the malls. We watched a film. We sat at cafes. We ate a lot and shopped a bit. But we did go to Song Wat and Lumpini Park under the blazing sun!

For our last night in Bangkok, we moved to a nice airport hotel for our early flight back to Helsinki the next day while Daniel headed to Osaka on a midnight flight. Our last dinner together at the hotel was perfect so I’m really going to miss all the great food in Bangkok and especially the fruits. At this point, I’m not sure if I will be able to return to Phnom Penh and Vientiane in the near future. But I’ll be back in Bangkok for sure for the food! It was a perfect family holiday. And I’m happy that we did it. Thank you, Phnom Penh, Vientiane and Bangkok!
