I came back to Singapore on the 17th from Bangkok.  Had a great trip.  Will write in detail about the 2 weeks of biwi ji’s holidays here in Singapore and Bangkok. Meanwhile, some pictures of Bangkok.

@Saritha, thanks.

@AD, oh yeah Thailand has a lot of hindu references in their culture.

@Dinu, yup it was an enjoyable trip what with wifey around :D

@YC, the brand is Baiyoke, its a chain of hotels. Looks like they are some big chain of real estate guys in thailand. I like to have the date/time on the pix cos i can refer back to the times when i traveled. Since i travel so much, i sometimes lose track of the places i visited and the date/times when i visited.

@IHM, Chirag, thanks :D
