Update: The Four Seasons Hotel Bangkok is now managed Anantara.

For eight days and seven nights, the Four Seasons Hotel and Resort Bangkok served as my home. Located along Rajadamri Road, the hotel is considered as one of the best in the bustling Thai capital.

It’s not difficult to see why people are all praises for this oasis in the middle of the city. Continue reading →

Much has been said about Bangkok, the bustling capital of Thailand, which is considered as the world’s best city by Travel + Leisure magazine. Whether you’re into shopping, partying, or sightseeing, the Thai capital has got you covered. Bangkok’s a great example of modernity mixed with traditional culture.

Cruising along the Chao Praya River, the birthplace of Bangkok.

Exploring Bangkok involves a lot of walking, train rides, and river cruises. It’s easy to get around the city since their modes of transport are well-integrated with each other. Also, the sidewalks of Bangkok are usually wide which is great for exploring the city on foot. In the shopping districts, such as Ratchaprasong, there are skywalks similar to Ayala Center’s.

On my first night in Bangkok, I was very eager to sample some authentic Thai cuisine. I walked to CentralWorld, a mall near Four Seasons Hotel and Resort Bangkok, hoping to have dinner in a Thai restaurant. Walking around the mall, I saw many Japanese, Korean, and Italian restaurants but no Thai. After an hour of searching, I gave up and headed straight to McDonald’s.

Big Mac, something that I always try when on foreign shores.

McDonald’s in Bangkok is pretty expensive. The Big Mac meal with medium fries and drink costs 147 Thai Baht, roughly in 196 in Philippine Pesos. To be fair though, their Big Mac had very juicy patties. Continue reading →

Bangkok, Four Seasons Hotel, Four Seasons Hotel Bangkok, Ratchadamri, Thailand

So here I am, staying in theĀ Four Seasons Hotel and Resort Bangkok. The hotel’s considered one of the best in Bangkok and it’s hard not to see why. But rather than fully enjoying the services this wonderful place offers, here I am in my room, reviewing the pre-work courses needed for my training.

Inviting bed, isn’t it? Seeing it is torture… I couldn’t slumber long since I have to finish many things. After today, I’ll reward myself with a well-deserved rest.

Mabuhay!

I am Jase and welcome to my space. I am a solution engineer from Manila. Frustrated polyglot. Foodie. Caffeinated. Can survive eating fried chicken every day.
