Peninsula Bangkok Photos posted
I have finally finished the last pages of my journals and photos for my trip to Cambodia and Thailand last summer. The last days were spent at the Peninsula in Bangkok. Since I know there are always questions about this hotel, I thought I's share my experience and photos.<BR>Please go to<BR>http://www.wired2theworld.com<BR>click on the Cambodia trip and there you'll find a link to the Bangkok page.<BR>I'd be happy to answer questions.

Thanks. Glad you liked the photos.<BR>I actually liked to pool at the Pen quite a bit, though I am not much of a "pool person". I liked the tranquility of it and the riverside location. I admit, it's small (because it's broken up into 3 sections) and probably not that great for kids or someone who wants to do laps. But we had a very enjoyable lunch and afternoon there.<BR>I'm afraid my husband is now spoiled and we will always have to stay there. I just hope we don't always have to have a suite.

I enjoyed your photos and journal of Bangkok -- also looked at your photos from other destinations. Thank you for sharing your experiences and advice. Having returned from Thailand several months ago, I can state that information posted on this board was invaluable to our visit.

Didn't see your pictures but I did see the Peninsula and thought it was great. I liked the pool because there was shade available and it was so much cooler than the pool at The Oriental where you bake in the sun.
