Hong Kong

After spending a nice week in Boracay I was back in Hong Kong. There walked a lot in the city and also went to two different beaches. In Hong Kong everyone is focused on themselves and the pace of the city is really high.

On Wednesday Sarah and I went to the horse race track, and I actually won twice. Next up after Hong Kong is Vietnam with a weekend stop over in Singapore.

Bangkok

We arrived in Bangkok 16th of August in the early morning after having spent 12 hours on a night bus... Really amazing how rude people can be, putting their seats as far back as possible.

After a small rest we went to the royal palace, and the area and all the buildings are really impressive.

After visiting the royal palace we went for a Longtail boat ride in the outskirts of Bangkok, we saw a lot of local people and an orchid farm. Unfortunately there was no floating marked, so need to go back during the weekend to see this.

Tuesday night we went for Thai Boxing at Lumpinee Stadium in Bangkok, we bought tickets in the second class allowing us to be with the locals who were betting like crazy.

Wednesday night we went to the Dome skybar, and to Vertigo skybar. The Dome at the State Tower was definitely the better one. It was at the 64th floor, and at the top of this building there is a golden dome.

After the two skybars we went to a place called Bed Supperclub where we had a reservation for a three course dinner. The dinner, and the show going with the dinner "Alice in Wonder Thailand" was a really cool experience. After dinner and drinks the whole place was transformed into a club with good DJ's and a lot of people.
