Singapore, (uh), Singapore: We spent our last night in Bangkok paying way too much for drinks at Moon Bar - but boy was it worth it. Moon Bar is one of Bangkok’s two signature rooftop bars. Apparently Bangkok is one of the only cities that doesn’t mind putting open air, 360-degree-view rooftop bars on the 60th and 70th floor on some of its tallest skyscrapers. Probably not the safest thing in the world, but the views were pretty incredible and it was a wonderful way to say goodbye to Thailand.
The next day we arrived in Singapore to start the beginning of the final portion of our trip - we’ve officially said goodbye to backpacker digs and hello to cashing-in-our-starwood-points. First stop was the St. Regis in Singapore, where our room came with a private butler. While we did take in a few of the sights around Singapore, we spent the majority of our two days walking incredulously around our room and marveling at our shower - which was actually separate from the toilet and rest of the bathroom - and our flat screen TV…two things we haven’t seen in nearly three months.
We’re pretty sure our travel book “Southeast Asia on a Shoestring” has never made it’s way into a St. Regis before. And we’re pretty sure that the concierge has never been asked where their guests could find the public bus. Oh well. Guess there’s a first time for everything.
