Spent another whirlwind weekend out of town, this time in Bangkok where one of my good friends lives. She and her family welcomed us into their lovely home, treated us like hotel guests (complete with all the amenities and even hotel-like breakfast), and her kids provided the entertainment. My friends and I are all almost the same age, but coming to her home was like spending a weekend at your favorite aunt's house.
Well, like I said, it was a whirlwind weekend. After work at 10 a.m. on Friday, I scooted off to the airport to catch the 12:30 flight. As soon as my friends and I arrived in Bangkok, we were whisked away to our hostess's wonderfully designed house to drop our bags off. Soon after that we went straight to the spa for some good old fashioned Thai massage - except that me being me, I didn't get a Thai massage and had a foot massage instead.
The rest of the evening and most of the following day were spent lounging at my friend's house, or in a restaurant or cafe. If it weren't for those street side shots in my photo album, you wouldn't know we were in Bangkok. We spent our final evening over a nice dinner and unlimited glasses of wine at 39 Restaurant, which was closed for that particular private party we attended. We went home laughing and totally drunk.
It was bittersweet having to haul our belongings for the trip back to Singapore. But it just opened the doors for more trips around the world with the best companions.
