“V Bangkok grem lahko še milijonkrat in vedno znova me bo očaral”, sem zapisala pod sedem let staro objavo, kamor sem enako nametano prilepila fotografije, kot v tej objavi. Ta izjava še vedno drži in Bangkok je očarljivo nametan toliko, kolikor si ga narediš. Najdeš lepe butične in nezasoljene hotele, ali celo designerski loft. Mesto od doma raziščeš kar preko instagrama, s pravimi hashtagi. Fine kavarne izbereš s profila od nekoga, ki na instagramu počne samo to. Tako npr. najdeš v četrto nadstropje kavarne, za kar se tudi natakarica iz pekarne v prvem nadstropju začudi, da sploh veš zanjo.
Izpolnila sva mojo dolgoletno željo in si v Mandarin Oriental hotelu privoščila popoldansko čajanko in ujela Mysore uro joge. Izpustila sva peklensko vročo kitajsko četrt in kraljičino fotografsko razstavo, ker v tempu nisva želela pretravati. Ne samo zato, ker sva potovala z devetmesečno dojenčico, ampak, ker je treba dati priložnost naključnem odkrivanju mesta in tudi početju ničesar. To je šele luksuz.

If I went to Bangkok for a millionth time, there would still be something to come back to. By now, I figured, that’s how all my travels end up: I get second chances. Like having high tea at Mandarin Oriental, because last time, the Authors lounge was being renovated, or like catching a Mysore yoga class at AYBKK, or even having a go at the street food, because I was always limiting the chances of a bad stomach. I know next time, I’ll be having Mizu Shingen Mochi at Double Dogs in Chinatown, spend a day at Bangkok Arts and Cultural Centre and try a sweet potato latte.
We spend seven nights in Bangkok (no, didn’t crumble) and took a very leisurely pace. We set ourselves to enjoy the city as neither of us did before. In low tempo and and and, with our nine month old baby girl. Did some shopping, went and feast on Thai food a lot, enjoyed the sun, enjoyed the warm weather and left some stuff for second chances.
