I Went straight from the airport into the thick of it, dinner by the Chao Phraya under the hanging roots of the banyan trees, then Wat Arun glowing in that deep electric purple. After two days on the Jungle Railway, the jump to Chinatown and Nana at night was a lot to take in.
The morning was where the “escape” part really kicked in though. The hotel I was staying at had an a la carte breakfast at the restaurant opposite, and that French toast with the vanilla ice cream was heaven. The rest of the day was spent drifting through Song Wat, it’s a really trendy place now, coffee shops and record stores tucked between the old market lanes. One last view from Ratchaprarop station watching the sea of headlights, then back to the airport.
