ht; thanks for the website.

billt; funny you mentioned tea. my cousin had green tea at the china house, and i had a tiger beer. yes, his tea was nearly one and half more than my beer, and he said the tea was nothing special.

ht; btw, any dress code at lord jims? the website had a photo of a guy in t-shirt. i guess t-shirts are ok?

We figured that the tea price was the way the hotel made its money- inexpensive dim sum to lure the folks in but then the tea price- very high- to cover the cost of the service- we had people falling all over us,pouring our tea, swooping in to take away our dishes, etc.

Happy Traveling-
Great photos! So, how do you compare your three hotels and which were your favorite restaurants? Are there any you wouldn't recommend.

Glad you had a good trip and, believe me, everyone is overly ambitious in their first trip to Bangkok. Until you experience it you can't quite realize how big a factor the weather is and how often you spend more time than planned someplace because of a conversation, a shop or a sight not found in any guide book.
