bangkok and hong kong!

From the moment we arrived in Bangkok, we realised quite how friendly and helpful everyone is - no wonder they call it the land of smiles!


We stayed at the Bel Aire Princess hotel , which has fantastically large rooms and they are lovely and cool which was much appreciated when the temperature outside was 35 degrees! The rooftop pool is a great added extra and superb for chilling out in after a day of sightseeing and shopping. A lovely hotel in a unique destination.


On the same trip, we managed to get some time in Hong-Kong too - what an adventure! One of the highlights was visiting Lantau Island - witnessing the world's largest seated Buddha! The cable car ride down the mountain offered beautiful panoramic views of the sea and south China countryside. In the evenings we headed out to Lan Kwai Fong - there is a huge choice of wine bars and restaurants here with almost every cuisine from around the world on offer!


We stayed at the Harbour Grand Kowloon, situated right on the waterfront.

The staff were incredibly friendly, and the breakfast options were never-ending! Try the Southern Chinese breakfast - the spices will be sure to wake you up!


It also currently has a great offer of a free upgrade from courtyard room to harbour view room when you book 2 nights or more (just book before 31 May).
