Bangkok '09 ~Final Day..

Time for us to say bye again. Woke up with a bad tummy. Must be eating too much these past few days. Saw a large contingent of monks at the airport.

This 2nd trip to Bangkok, we managed to cover more places than the previous one. And I dun rely on the map anymore cos all the directions are already in my mind :) this really makes the whole trip more relaxing. One significant difference stands out in this 2nd trip, which both of us feels the same way, is that the Thais are slightly less friendly now. Where previously u'll always be greeted with sa-wat-dee-ka (hello) or korp-khun-ka (thank you), now u're more often met with "thank you" (in English) or none at all.




Are the Thais in Bangkok slowly losing their culture sense due to the massive influx of tourists? I certainly hope not cos the local culture n feel are what entices me to return again n again. And hope First House hotel doesn't increase their room rates due to their upgraded renovations ;)
