As the sun took to the sky for another day, I enjoyed my last moment of bliss in a boudoir fit for a Queen. In my semi-awake state, I could feel myself wandering halfway between dreamland and the real world. My body was entangled in a decadent doona, relishing the soft embrace…I wanted the moment to last forever.
Unfortunately, my conscious mind was taking over and the knowledge it was my last day at the Shangri-La Hotel in Bangkok was starting to sink in…“Time to hit the road and live out of a Land Rover again!”
But, before I got my camper girl on again, I was going to stay in the land of luxury for as long as possible…until 12:30 to be precise. Breakfast became a 3-hour affair, which eventually ebbed into lunch. They offered savoury options for every possible ethnic preference after all, and I hated the thought of the leftovers going to waste!
Before I knew it, the time had come to pack up my makeshift office at the breakfast bar and prepare to leave Bangkok. As I waved goodbye to the impeccably dressed Shangri-La staff, they gave me a parting gift of beautiful smiles. I’m convinced Thai people have the best in the world. They smile from the heart and through their eyes.
I’m sure the Cambodians will be just as delightful. Now it’s time to find out and make the 800km journey to Phnom Penh. But first, I need to tackle the inner city madness of Bangkok!
It’s tough leaving hotels like the Shangri-La, they are just too good to go again. I hope you’ll have a save journey. I’ll follow it 🙂
