36 hours in Bangkok!

Our first evening in Bangkok we visited the Sky Bar at Lebua State Tower, which is where one of the ‘Hangover’ scenes was filmed. We would highly recommend visiting in the evening to see the amazing city in all its glory. Drinks are pricey here and there are many other sky bars that you can visit, but a photo opportunity is a must – it’s great to say ‘been there, done that!’ #thailand We swiftly moved onto a site inspection of The Banyan Tree hotel. This hotel is inner city based with an unbelievable rooftop restaurant and bar called VERTIGO & MOON BAR. Vertigo offers an al fresco dining experience set on a roof terrace overlooking the glittering cityscape of Bangkok. Moon Bar puts you at ease in an informal setting 61 floors above the city and offers premium drinks, which were cheaper than they were at Sky bar. The Banyan Tree chain prides itself on their holistic spas and this hotel didn’t disappoint – we were treated to a 10-minute neck and shoulder massage which was so relaxing and very professional. The only criticism we could place on the Banyan Tree was their roof top pool; although lovely, it is very small and in peak season I would imagine the sunbeds surrounding the pool becoming quite cramped, and so less relaxed.
