A few days in Thailand

Tiger Cub, Tiger Temple
We flew into Bangkok International Airport again, 3rd time on this South East Asia trip, though this time we would actually leave the airport!
The usual out of the plane then onto a bus and driving around half of the airport saw us eventually at the customs gate which we passed through to meet up with our ride to the city. The trip to our hotel Pathumwan Princess seemed to take forever passing through the early evening of a huge Bangkok.
We checked into the hotel and tested the view from our 27th floor room window before venturing out into MBK to find somewhere to get dinner. We found the food court at the far end of the mall, and collected our plastic food credit card and proceeded to wander among the many food stalls. Eventually deciding on a shop selling soups, I picked up a duck wanton soup which I think didn't agree with me. I’d eaten from street vendors in Myanmar and market stalls in Lao only to be stricken down by a food court in Bangkok! It left me a bit tender and under the weather for the rest of the Bangkok trip.
We wandered around MBK a little more then retired for the evening.
