Our final stop was Bangkok, the capital and the most populated city of Thailand. I have visited Bangkok before and I have to admit that I didn’t really enjoy my time there. Bangkok has very limited roads and an awful lot of cars which has resulted in terrible traffic congestion and in turn highly severe air pollution. The heat is oppressive and the air is dusty, all in all it does not compare to the relaxed island life that we enjoyed in Phuket. That being the case, I chose to only spend one night in the capital city. I’d previously been to the Banyan Tree for dinner and had glimpsed the Vertigo Restaurant, this time in Bangkok I wanted the opportunity to dine there and this influenced my decision to spend our one night in Thailand residing at the Banyan Tree Hotel.

Vertigo holds well deserved place on the culinary scene in Bangkok though expect prices are higher than the restaurant’s more provincial counterparts.
