BKK - 15 Mar 2008

Today we are supposed to be moving out in our pre-split groups to carry out the 'Study'. The details cannot be mentioned here but the food, MUST be highlighted! *giggles*
.
After my favourite eggs & toast breakfast at the hotel (I LOVE HEARTY Hotel Breakfast!)
We headed out to the mall called the Emporium. We 'studied' there for a while & headed to the current most happening high-end mall called the Siam Paragon at the BTS station called SIAM.
.
There, we settled in for tea at the L-espace by the Oriental Hotel Cafe.

The wonderful thing about this cafe is that it is situated right smacked in the atrium of Siam Paragon yet carefully segregated by man-made lap-pool & lush greenery. The servers were very polite & the service was tip-top.

.

We ordered 2 sets of Hi-Tea which costs about 380Baht each set which was cheap. 1 set was for 2 person.. We got to choose from a variety of tea & there was this server whom was so passionate about his job, brought us the tea leaves samples for us to smell & even explained to us each & every one of the different aromas & taste. Thumbs up for him! If I can go back there again, I would have Hi-Tea there again... very reasonable priced & their pastry were so yummy especially the scones.

.

After Tea, we continued our 'studying' until about 5pm we walked back to the hotel. We had a drink from the cafe & carried out our discussion there whole waiting for the company's transport for dinner somewhere else.

I ordered a refreshing smoothie which has my favourite strawberries, oranges & bananas! YUMMY!
.
For dinner, we were taken to the a lovely riverside restaurant, forgot the name, will input it when I remember... Ok its the Supatra Riverhouse!!

.

We thought that was it & we'll have our dinner there, it was nice, cooling & romantic.. BUT NO! We were supposed to take a boat ride across ...

Mobilephone camera can sometimes be inconvenient. I was snapping this wonderful experience we had on the boat when ALAS... battery went flat & phone went dead! It was really a pity! The restaurant, sat peacefully on the bay of the river, was like a free-standing colonial house. We booked the whole of the interior & practically had the whole place to ourselves!
.
I was also keeping myself busy looking around the mysterious restaurants & found that they had certificates that branded them BEST THAI RESTAURANT from year 2000 all the way to 2007! I was really amazed! It was a good dinner & experience though I have no photos to show for it.
.
After the great dinner, the coach dropped some of us the Famous SuanLon Night Market, some at a Massage place called Healthland & the rest of us, at the Hotel. I went back to the hotel as I was planning to hit the gym to burn the sins I had consumed today. Again, we stayed in the gym until about 1am before hitting the beds!
