Sky Bar and Floods
Another weekend has past. The time has been flying since my arrival in Bangkok. This past Saturday night, I had a chance to go out and just RELAX for awhile. It felt absolutely wonderful. I went out with one of my British friends from the course. I really wanted to go to the skybar which is on the 63rd floor. As the title suggests, there is a bar on the rooftop which has a stunning view of all of Bangkok.
Unfortunately due to monsoon season, it was raining at the time we went into the bar. So, I never got a chance to go onto the rooftop. There is a bar that is inside that is surrounded by glass windows. The view just blew me away. The ambience is really relaxed with couches and tables beside the bar area. The floor above the inside bar is a restaurant called "Sirocco," and they had a band playing. I didn't get to eat at the restaurant, but I could see the band playing.
We didn't stay long because we were hungry, so decided to hop into a taxi and head to the Suan Night Bazaar to eat some western food (I have no idea why). My stomach has been bothering me lately because of eating some western food, and mixing it with Thai food. Thai food is so healthy, whereas western food is not. I can't imagine how my stomach will react once I go back to Canada. I'll miss Thai food so much, besides the fact that it is sooo cheap.
When we arrived at the night market, we walked towards the restaurant area. It was raining pretty hard most of the evening, but I was not expecting to see flooding. The water was at least ankle deep if not deeper. We had to take off our shoes to cross the road. I felt like I was in another city considering I had not seen any flooding in other areas of Bangkok. It was extremely funny to be seeing people walking around with no shoes and no socks, and the cars slushing through the water. Was I really in Bangkok?
Our late dinner at 10pm was not very appetizing. I had a club sandwich and was not impressed when they brought me a sandwich with roast beef, ham, and chicken on it. The menu said a chicken club. So, I had to wait another ten minutes to get my meal..Thais have no concept of time. Everyone is so laid back here, it's funny, although frustrating at times. Oh well, it was quite an adventure to say the least.
After the "flooding fun,"I went back home where there was no flooding. The flooded area was just in the market bizarre area. Yeah, bizarre was right! The drains must not be working in that area, I figured. It was nice to get home to a dry apartment.
I will post some pictures on here of the floods later.
Till then, this has been another day in Jo's Thai adventures.
