Enjoyed Sunbear's report. Didn't do many trips on KS- just Big Buddah and the rock formations- every body knows which ones.We just like to chill out and read[virtually take a library with us].Next time we'll see a few more things. Didn't want to leave KS but Bangkok was beckoning. We stayed in the Landmark[Fiona's recommendation] and loved it. Nice rooms,best breakfast I've ever had and skytrain along the road.We also used the pool which was on the 9th floor and had great service there. We took a longtail boat down the canals and river. Went to the Grand Palace.Went shopping to MBK, we also were not impressed- it was just like a big souk,went into the Siam discovery - a bit upmarket- very nice and loads of lovely restaurants. Had a tuk tuk ride and should have been paid danger money but had a laugh. We had fun just wandering the streets, people watching and being propositioned[ well the men were]!Didn't like watching the young girls aged about 8/9 at midnight with nothing on their feet trying to sell roses. Also disturbed crossing the bridges at night from one side of the road to the other knowing the kids and beggars would be lying there.Makes you feel very fortunate. We rounded off our night in the Huntsman pub - another eye opener.

Then we had to come home -bye bye Bangkok - we will return
