Four Days in Bangkok – October 2017
Chao Phraya River Bangkok
Bangkok was a perfect stopover on a recent trip from Sydney to Sri Lanka, flying Thai Airlines. We stayed for four fantastic days – highly recommended.

Day 1 – Bangkok
Breakfast at Oriental Hotel
We began our first day with a treat – breakfast on the terrace of the beautiful Oriental Hotel, overlooking the Chao Phraya River. Not only was the food delicious, it was a great place to watch life on the river.
Wat Arun (Temple of Dawn)
From the Oriental Hotel we caught a ferry to the beautiful Wat Arun temple. Located on the west bank of the river, it is a relatively small temple precinct. The steep spire is decorated with colourful pieces of porcelain and glass. We were able to climb the spire and were rewarded with lovely views. The Ordination Hall is also worth a visit.
