When we landed in Bangkok on a pleasant March morning, the skyscrapers were in check, the swimming pools hadn’t yet turned into whirlpools, and Thailand was every bit the picture of peace that we know. The 7.7 earthquake was still a few weeks away. Bangkok, resplendent in the morning sun, was just about crackling to activity.
The first stop on our four-day trip was a well-known jewel on the other side of the King’s River – The Peninsula Bangkok.
