Bangkok
Bangkok is a massive and dense city in Thailand. In fact, the city has over 8 million people. The city reminded us a lot of Shanghai – it’s busy, crowded, and polluted. With that said, the people are incredibly nice and polite.
We stayed at the Royal Orchid Sheraton, and is right along the Chao Phraya River.

Bangkok Restaurants
The Bamboo Bar is a small jazz bar with a live band, unique cocktails, and excellent service. This is not the place to have a conversation, but a great place to enjoy some exotic drinks. Fair warning, this place is pretty expensive.
Boh Bar – great place to grab a drink along the river.
