Sirocco Sky Bar

We spend finnish Vappu in Bangkok and as all know it is kind of a big drinking holiday, we needed to find a bar. When you are with local people, you always get the best tips and go the best places. Reiska told us about one roof top bar (I had also read about it, but did not remember the name) and it happen to be in this tall white building close to Oriental hotel near by the Chao Phraya river. I had seen the building many times and cause white is my favorite colour, always tooked pics and said I want to live there one day. :)

The Sirocco Sky Bar was something amazing!! We could not have gone the better place. You could see the whole Bangkok from there.

The atmosphere was so great up there. The warm wind in your hair, whole Bangkok underneath you, cold drinks, great friends... :) What a VAPPU!!

The view from the roof is absolutely breathtaking!! And again I do apologize for my pics...not as good as I want them to be...but my camera still broken and I have to use the small one, and dont like it at all!!

You can have dinner or just drinks. You need to make reservation for dinner. You can find info here.

Geh, me & Reiska on the roof.

When you go to Sirocco, you can take the sky train and get off at Sophan Taksin station.

Drinks are atleast 500b (about 10e) which is quite expensive in Thailand, but it will be worth it. :)

Reiska, beer & mojito.

Up up, up we go!!!

dinner cruise on chao phraya river

I have been to Bangkok so many times but every time there is something new and different to see and do. This time one of those things were luxurious dinner cruise on the river.

There is a saying, “you shouldn't miss the Seine when in Paris, the Thames when in London, and the Chao Phraya when visiting Bangkok.”

 

 

Outside Geh´s house. Waiting for ride to Chao Phraya.

Before the cruise we went to have drinks at the pier.

I think Chao Phraya river is one of the great places in Bangkok. We usually have lunch at Oriental hotel when (also by the river) we are here, but this time no time to do that either.

On the river you can see historic temples and landmarks slowly unfold on your left and right.

Behold the marvelous Temple of Dawn, The Grand Palace, Rama VIII Suspension Bridge and a delightful collection of waterfront hotels and landmarks. All of these and buffet dinner, complimented with live music and a Thai classical dance show.

The cruise was perfect way to start Vappu in Bangkok. We had perfect and different Vappu here in BKK but more about that next time.

What is better than travelling??!! Travelling with your friends! What is better than travelling with your friends??!! Travelling with your bestfriend!! :)
We have been friends almost 20 years now (it is going to be our 20 year anniversary 02/2012) and we have had some great trips before also. One of the best once was when we spend 5 weeks in California back in 1993. It was Kati & Niina - The Early Years. :)

Best trips are those which gives you so many memories that you need to write them down to remember them all.

Hope we will have many more great trips to come. Next one will be next July when we will celebrate our 20 year together at Legendary Orimattila Kantrifestarit! :)

One of the best days ever

One of the things in our famous TO DO LIST - ROME was to have picnic in Villa Borghese Park. Everybody said it is going to rain and thunder on Sunday and it was our picnic day...In the morning we took taxi to see Vatican city, which ended up beeing the biggest (and only) disappointment in Rome. It took us 5 min and 20 pics to say CHECKED!! ;)
In Vatican we had enlightenment and jumped to taxi and went to our place to get all picnic stuffs. Back to taxi again and straight to Villa Borghese Park.

One of the most beautiful places!!

Everything on that picnic was just perfect. How do you know that moment when you are having one of the best days of your life??!! Just a small feeling you get and you know this is something special and you will remember this for ever..(many hearts here!!) Well, this was one of those days. :)

Hanna had made a little detour after we came to Rome. And because of that we had fresh paguette straight from Paris in our picnic and that is just what you need when you are having picnic in Rome with your best girls. :)

Hih...our blanket was huge and we borrowed it from our place and ended up walking with it all day around Rome in our "Kassialma" blastic bag, but it was so worth it!! :)
