5Y8M 3Y 11M バンコク Bangkok again

水曜日の真夜中近くにペナンに戻った。

今回はJasonも合流してバンコクで２泊。アラタカラは前回行った所をJasonに見せたかったので、サイアムパラゴンのおもちゃ売り場やフードコートを再訪。

川を行く船のフリーチケットを購入したので、寺院や王宮で降りて観光・・・と思ったけれど、アラタカラには観光の意思はないから、船に乗って終わり。ま、いいんだけど、暑いから。そして動物園に行った。

子供がいると、どの国へ行っても公園探して動物園探して・・・なのはまだまだ続きそう。もう少し大きくなったら少しは名所旧跡にも興味もつかな。

サイアムのメリディアンは、デザイナーズホテル風で綺麗だった。（一泊１万円ちょっと。街並みの写真はホテルの窓からの風景。）バンコクはホテルやバス、トゥクトゥクやタクシーは安いが、食事はペナンより若干高め。屋台でも割高感があった。おいしかったけど！

フットマッサージを４人で並んで受けた。タカラは、この写真を撮った後、気持ちよくて寝てしまった。

We came back to Penang on Wednesday nearly midnight.

On our way back, we spent 2 days in Bangkok. Jason joined us as well. Aratakara felt they knew Bangkok better than Daddy. They showed him the food court and toy section of Siam Paragon. We decided to go up the river. Our initial plan was to pop off at one of the temples or the palace, but boat ride was more than enough for boys, and we didn't do any sightseeing. Doesn't matter for me, since it was hot! We also visited the Bangkok zoo.

With small children, wherever we go, we always look for a park, playground and zoo. How many more years will it be like this?

We stayed at Le Méridien in Silom, just behind the Pappon street. It has a designer's hotel taste, stylish and clean. (It was only a bit more than 10,000 JPY per night. The photo of the city was shot from our hotel room.) In Bangkok, TukTuk, bus, taxi are cheaper than those in Penang. But food is not as much. Even the food stalls on road side seem to be slightly more expensive than the ones in Penang. Of course, it was as tasty as in Penang!

4 of us went to a foot massage. After being taken this photo, Takara just fell asleep....
