meeting new friends @ Sirocco (1/29/09)

There seems to be some consensus "must do" traveler attractions in Bangkok. Of these, Sirocco at the Dome in the State Tower Bangkok is on the top of everyone's list. Basically, a restaurateur created a multi-level, multi-function dining and drinking experience atop one of the tallest buildings in BKK. Despite the smog, the views were still spectacular.





Our camera was dying (and we forget that we carry an extra battery), so here are a couple from their website.





Just gorgeous. Drinks were $7-$50 (think Moet, Johnie Blue label), but well worth the view. As with all travel, the travelers that you meet are often even more rewarding than the tourist attractions. In this case, we were fortunate to be seated adjacent to an outgoing German couple. Within minutes we were already planning our next morning river tour together, which we will outline in our next post.
