All trips (no matter how good or bad) would somehow come to an end and there was no exception to this. We had to literally pull ourselves up from the big comfortable bed and checked out from the lovely suite. Hailed a taxi and we headed straight for the airport. The driver was pretty chatty and gave an impromptu lecture about Pattaya and its seedier side (perhaps he thought I was into that when I drank 2 cans of beer during the 30min taxi ride). Before Sally boarded to Sillypore, we went to the food court and did another pig trotters rice. It was really nice. :)

After sending Sally off, I joined my colleagues at the Royal River Hotel (just beside Krung Thon Bridge along Chao Phraya River) as it was the designated hotel for all delegates attending the UN Vesak Conference. There were no major highlights for the next couple days, probably apart from a few insightful talks and me gorging on the endless supply of ice-cream (the weather was getting really warm) and ultra-sweet milk tea. The hospitality shown by the Thais were, as usual, GREAT.

Well, this was not the most difficult trip done in the past couple of years. Anyway, all I did was to eat, drink, shop (or watching Sally shop) and sleep. Bangkok was definitely not the most memorable city I could had done; but well, it was a rather nice break at the very least.
