Bangkok, Thailand

June & August 2007

We went to Bangkok, Thailand, in June for a four-day stopover on the way to the Gold Coast, Australia, and again in August for two days on the way back home to Toulouse, France.

While in Bangkok on the way over, we stayed at the Siam City Hotel for two nights. On the third night we stayed with an old schoolmate of Yves', Thierry, who lives in Bangkok with his Thai wife, Jane.
