Today is Elisabeth’s birthday, and I decided to get us a room in Baiyoke Sky Tower 2, the highest building in all of Thailand. At 85 floors, it is the tallest hotel in all of Southeast Asia, and the third tallest all-hotel structure in the world. It is a nice change from the scummy area we had been staying in for the past week or so. In fact, from our hotel room on the 59th floor, we could clearly see our previous hotel down in the slums right next to the railroad tracks.
I tried to enjoy our day and night at Baiyoke, since it was our last in Thailand. Unfortunately I have decided that we are going back to the States mainly because of my health, among other reasons.
The Baiyoke Sky Tower is very nice, and we had a blast staying there. Our room was beautiful, with an entire wall of windows, which provided a great view of the city. We explored the 77th floor observatory, and shot video and photos from the 84th floor, which houses a revolving deck that screeches along to give you excellent views of all of Bangkok.
I felt too sick to eat much dinner, but Elisabeth had some food. A magician came over to our table while we were eating and did some magic tricks for us. Then I went over and got one of the magicians to make Elisabeth a bouquet of balloon flowers.
After dinner that night, we pulled up the couch in our room to the window and looked out on the city for hours.
