One Moment In Time

Finally arrived into Bangkok last night. Coincidentally it was the King's 80th Birthday as well (The English Queen eat your heart out when it comes to having a Birthday party with your 'subjects'!). While the celebration is well going on, we found ourselves in the hotel bar on the 37th floor as we all do. The view of the river was just phenomenon!

When the finale fireworks were lighting up the skies all along the river, I can only try to take everything in and hopefully freeze this moment. That moment for the three special words.

The second drinks just arrived. Maybe another time.

Sailing down the Chao Phraya River today was a very energising experience to say the least. The speed, the heat, the water, the boats, the tall buildings in contrast with the old shabby huts side by side, the sights and lives along the river just set your heart racing fast.

And I had that moment again. Stood next to him in the long boat, we both smiled and looking into each other eyes in that very tiny short instant. I'm sure there was someone right now being sick at the back of the boat! Now maybe even! :-)

A loud whistle blew! Time to disembark. Maybe another time.
