Thursday! We started this day with a morning walk on the beach. Kamala Beach was amazing! And peaceful and scenic. I’m so glad we stayed at the Novotel Beach Resort. Really a great location. Then, we spent some time in the infinity pool overlooking the ocean. So great. I could have stayed here for another day for sure! But, alas, we had a plane to catch, so it will have to do for now. But I’ve noted it as a place to return one day.
We returned to Bangkok in time to check into our “unique” hotel the House of Phraya Jasaen. Strange. But, cheap. :)
We settled in and got ready to head to our fancy dinner. Our dinner was at a restaurant called Gaggan Anand (after the chef). This chef had a restaurant called Gaggan that was ranked #4 in the world, but he had a disagreement with the owners/management and decided to open his own place. So, while this place isn’t currently ranked, we have a feeling it may be one day. The dinner consisted of 25(!) courses!! The chef is all about you having an experience with your food. Licking plates, eating things out of the palm of your hand. The vessels were beautiful. The food was tasty and innovative. The best part was that the menu came as a set of 25 jigsaw puzzle pieces that each had an emoji on them. You had to figure out which emoji went with each course and assemble your puzzle as you went. It was fantastic! Obviously made for me. They even gave us a special 26th course for our anniversary. :)
After dinner we stopped at one of Asia’s top bars: Tropic City for a cocktail and a chance to debrief our meal. The drinks and atmosphere were great here!! It was dead (as most places have been), but still a nice place to be.
Mike dropped me off at the hotel and he went out to explore some beer bars. Another great day!
