beautiful thailand

we flew to thailand from singapore on june 25 by airasia. arrived there in afternoon, we had to deal with traffic on the way to our hotel. our hotel was nearby chinatown, and no one seemed knew where exactly our hotel was, perhaps because it was not a 5 stars hotel, or maybe we didn't correctly spell the hotel name.

finally, we found our hotel.. old & small but our room was very large. after rest a while, as we held a map of bangkok, we decided to walk to memorial bridge that according to the map was only 100 m from the hotel and planned to have dinner in one of the restaurant that facing to the river. however, the map guided us to the wrong direction; so confusing.. and very difficult to ask the direction to bangkok people as they hardly speak english. so, at that night, we walked for almost 2 hours, tried finding the restaurant that according to the map was only step away from the bridge; and since it was the 1st time for widi visited bangkok, he kept complaining by saying bangkok was not nice (because memorial bridge is in bangkok's suburban area), noone can speak english, the map was so unuseful & none of beautiful view that i promised him to see.
