Trip Reports - BEAR Alert! LHR-FRA-BKK-KBV and vv LH/TG J/C - "From Thailand with Love"

Willard the Bear (http://www.willardbear.com/) is at it again! On a Whirldwind tour of Starwood properties in Thailand, calling at the Royal Orchid, The Westin and the Sheraton Grande in BKK, as well as the Sheraton Krabi Resort.

Trip report is a "part work" in progress Here (http://www.willardbear.com/BKKKBV06/BKKKBV06.htm).

It's likely to interesct with TEX277's report, since we met up with him last night!

Willard the Bear (http://www.willardbear.com/) - I'm typing as fast as my paws will allow, honestly!

Willard The Bear is back again^

I had the pleasure of meeting Willard in BKK at the Sheraton Grande Sukhumvit Platinum guest cocktail hour. No doubt, he exists and he knows how to party. We proceeded to hit the town after 7 rounds, dined at Sirocco 65 floors up at the Dome Tower, and then did another few rounds the next night followed by dinner at the new hotel Dream.

Move over Bond, I see a new tux-clad bear in town...

Editing may be a little lax in a few places (was in a hurry to upload before I left the SGS, and Willard (http://www.willardbear.com/)'s paws don't get any smaller!) But this episode does include the pics from the BKK SGS mini-Do!

Thanks for your kind comments, seattle1K - aren't you going to petition Randy to change your FT handle to seattleUGS (or even BKKUGS ;) )?

In the Royal Silk lounge now - getting ready for the trip home!

Ken.

Man, that's a mighty big glass of wine (http://www.willardbear.com/BKKKBV06/DSCN4019.jpg) for such a small bear! Willard must have slept very well on the flight to Frankfurt.

That's one hot bear.

I have only had time to have a quick look at your TR KenF but will take a good look tomorrow when I have a little more time. Great meeting you again. Perhaps next time could be somewhere a little more local!

Thanks for posting those pictures, particularly the one of me, Seattle1K and schoflyer lounging around the pool bar at the SGS!^

The picture that the hotel employee took just before we departed the SGS can be seen here (http://public.fotki.com/TEX277/bali-trip/pc090050.html).

Whoa! Tough crowd! Willard has been typing as quickly as he could honestly, but the additional technical problems introduced by travelling with a "Willard Sized" (and one item of handbaggage-sized) laptop had introduced delays (next time I vow to name the directories the same on all machines).

Anyone who has met up with Willard (http://www.willardbear.com/) will know that his capacity for wine (especially Champagne!) is virtually limitless!

That's one hot bear.
Willard's blushing!

Pleasure to meet up with you again TEX! Hope to see you at the DeTox Do! And perhaps we should consider the practicality of FT's first South Coast do?

So, the final episode is up (http://www.willardbear.com/BKKKBV06/BKKKBV06.htm), and Willard is getting ready to hang his stocking up and see if he has been a good little bear this year! Thanks for all your encouragement, hope to see some of you "on the road" in 2007!

Willard the Bear (http://www.willardbear.com/) - I'm sure I've been a good bear and deserve lots of presents - what do you mean "what about the bar in Bangkok?" - Oh, I see.......

Wow,you should write movies for Hollywood. Great imagination and alot of fun.
Thank you.^ ^ ^

And perhaps we should consider the practicality of FT's first South Coast do?


Nice idea but I don't believe that we would be able to claim that it is "the first ever South coast do (http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/showthread.php?t=542509)".

Great trip report and many thanks for taking the time to share your experience with us.
