A Pharaoh Abroad - Bangkok

26. 7. 14.

Bangkok

We landed at Bangkok Airport and I was overwhelmed with happiness and joy. Once we had checked in and gone through immigration and security we had a wander and stretched our legs. We then caught a shuttle bus to the Novotel near the Airport as we were staying there the night because our flight was the day after. 

The Novotel was a grand place. There were shops and restaurants dotted everywhere. A man greeted us at the door and took our heavy luggage and allowed us to keep our hand luggage. Afterwards we checked into our room and had some breakfast. Dad and I shared a pain au chocolat. I loved it. I think the very first dish of its kind to find its way down my throat in a long time. 

After we had eaten our fair share of food we went upstairs to look at our rooms. Dad and I got a suite! Eeeeek! I was so excited. We all had a nap as we were all tired and jet lagged. 

Afterwards we went downstairs. Dad bought some macaroons as he is addicted to them. Personally I prefer sea weed soup but I didn’t add my wig worth. We had lunch at one of the buffet restaurants. Dad and I shared crab meat wrapped up in a crab head shell. NOW THAT’S WHAT I’M TALKING ABOUT! After we had gorged ourselves on crab meat we all decided to go swimming well if Dad, Isaac, Super and me count, that’s everyone. I love water and the sea as you see I come from Egypt. You may think that I lived in a posh stuck up pyramid or mansion. I lived in the Nile well obviously I’m a Sea Monkey. Yes that’s right I’m the Prince of the Nile the 8th Wonder of the World. When a few hours were up we went back to our room and watched a smidgen of TV. 

We all soon grew hungry. So we all went down to the buffet. Dad and I had a bit of everything. Some prawns and some soup and even I dread to put this down… MACAROONS! Right I need to say sorry. I could see how my father adored them as the crispy sugary layers were so lovely and sweet and the icing inside was interestingly tantalising. Soon we needed to go to bed so we all floated off to dreamland.
