Bangkok

It was a short trip.

Stayed in the Pathumwan Princess Hotel in Bangkok.

The hotel rooms are quite large, modern and well kept. Breakfast is a very good buffet. This hotel is located in central Bangkok and is attached to one of the largest shopping centres in BKK. All you need to do is walk through the lobby and you're there! Shopping was made easy & super convenient. We could  make  trips back to the room as our shopping intensity builds up & bags getting heavier and we could no longer carry them!
Hotel is also connected to the mono rail station at National and a short walk across the footbridge to the upmarket Siam shopping area. In bad weather there is everything you need to enjoy a day wondering around MBK or adjoining shopping malls and the mono rail attached to MBK means you can travel to various locations very easily.

We didnt have much time & since the traffic was really bad, we decided to visit only one place.

Temple of the Emerald Buddha
The Emerald Buddha is smaller than I thought but it’s amazing, I could feel it’s energy even though it’s pretty far up in the altar.  To try and describe the Emerald Buddha would be like trying to explain how chocolate  tastes... You need to  see this absolutely beautiful Emerald Buddha for yourself and hopefully you could feel it’s energy as well.

So, If you only have one day in Bangkok make it count, go to visit the Emerald Buddha at the Grand Palace.
