Our only night in Bangkok we stayed at a nice place…. in the middle of the ghetto. It was late when we got in and being completely drained we let the little, slightly pushy, old lady at the airport send us to what looked like a swanky joint. And though it was, certainly quite fancy for the price we paid, when the shuttle picked us up and took us through some sketchy, graffiti laced- wild dog roaming areas. I thought at one point they would just stop the van and kick us out on the street, until we pulled into this gated compound-like area with a very nice hotel in the center. My favorite part was the rooftop breakfast. Our first intro to Thai food and for me, papya. Weird huh? You would think we would have had that before, but no. Very yummy.
A bus, a shuttle, and two good little travelers later… We enter Chaing Mai!
I’ll admit, the name “Princess Hotel” did slightly appeal to the girls. They could sit in the lobby all day long and be happy on their “princess beds.”
They enjoyed street side fruit shakes and lots and lots of bartering. I think Mina is a natural. Marie… likes to shop, but will need a future husband to do the bartering. Marie just loves it all!
