a scholar's feast

On our second day in Bangkok, we took a boat down the rather brown river to the Mandarin Oriental hotel.

Having seen the colour of the water, we weren't so keen to try the seafood delights being sold at the pier...

We wandered around the beautiful Mandarin Oriental hotel, which is famous for afternoon tea in the Authors' Lounge. However, the lounge was being used for a very fancy Jo Malone perfume launch, so we had to settle for tea in the gorgeous lobby instead.

yummy yummy :)
