The Holiday is over - Sad Face Part 2

The holiday is now over and the reality of working and back to Sydney life is totally back on track. Sad face!

So after a great week in various parts of Asia, I found my love of Thailand has increased and my new love of Hong Kong is one I would like to keep up in the future.

I have summarised my hotel top 5 below and maybe decided to put a little picture from each, so here is where we stayed and my mini review plus picture:

1. The Four Seasons, Bangkok

Just simply divine!



My favourite by a long way, with 5 star plus service and 5 star location, right near the BTA and right near shops, markets and everything one needs in the stunning Bangkok.

2. The Peninsula, Bangkok

So amazing, such great service, amazing day spa, amazing buffet breakfast and lovely people to make you feel warm and welcome. Also on the riverside so something different and very nice. No floods in this part of Bangkok




3. The Peninsula, Hong Kong

Again divine, but the Chinese are not as freidnly as the Thai and with no complimentary buffet breakfast, they get marked down a bit. But an amazing high tea is to be had there and the pool has an amazing view of the city light show at 8pm nighty




4. The Sukhothai, Bangkok

Lovely Thai people and lovely buffet but it was not up there with the other two Thai hotels, the rooms were a little wierd but all good, one night in Bangkok at this place




5. Lanson Place, Hong Kong

HMMMMMMM the Chinese really don't have customer service down to a fine art form like the Thai but this place was comfortable and in a greta location, right near Times Square and around a lot of great little shops and Yum Cha in the heart of Causeway Bay.




Okay so hotels tick, and it comes to my favourite memories, Ocean Park at the end of the leg in Hong Kong was a great amusement park and haven't I seen a load of them this year.




And the people of Thailand always continue to amaze me, they have survived floods this year, some of the people surive on what Alan Joyce makes in an hour to last them a year and support an entire family. Thailand can I move to you and ditch the great down under?

There was so much in Hong Kong, so many shops, so many people, so much washing on the streets, so many modes of transport, such great little lane ways (look out Melbourne) and the people themseleves, CRAZY!

Oh the love, oh how I love holidays and this blog is becoming a bit Getaway travel-esque, so it all stops soon with gig reviews, as some of the biggest stars and acts are in town. Salt n Pepa, Seeker Lover Keeper and the Australian festival starts real soon.

So look out readers!
