Staff Dinner

Our wonderful social club at school organised a staff dinner for us at a lovely Thai restaurant. The restaurant was in Bangkok!

That is one thing about my Hong Kong adventure that I am not yet used to - hopping on a plane and going to a different country for the weekend. Imagine going overseas for a staff dinner!

There were 22 of us and we had a fabulous weekend. It was my first time anywhere in Thailand, and I enjoyed Bangkok more than I have enjoyed the other Asian cities I've been to lately.

The girls took me to the famous markets where I did far more shopping than I normally do. I still think of myself as a non-shopper, so I was quite proud of my efforts. In the end I had to go home because I couldn't carry any more.

There was also the pool, the mall, leisurely breakfasts, and a pedicure. Very relaxing.

The dinner on Saturday night started at the most amazing bar in the world for pre-dinner drinks.

The Sirocco Bar is on the 65th floor, outside, overlooking the whole world. It has 3 levels - restaurant, band, and bar. It was amazing!!

Dinner was at a really nice Thai restaurant which was lots of fun with all 22 of us there, and then some of us hit the town afterwards in the seedy part of town. Quite an eye-opener.

And I already have a list of things I'd like to do when we go back there for a staff get-together next year - I enjoyed Bangkok and am looking forward to going back!

I googled this picture because it was better than mine. The sky bar on top of Bangkok... amazing!
