The Oriental, The Author's Lounge - A Cup of Tea!

The Oriental, Bangkok is located on the Chao Phrya River. One should have a lovely cup of tea at the Author's Lounge in the Oriental.

It was fascinating and a great privilege to be sitting on this very lounge having a cup of tea once enjoyed by many famous writers who stepped through the doors of the Oriental.

The lounge was decorated with delicate, white-washed rattan furniture with hand-painted upholstery with a touch of Thai flavors such as the Siamese umbrellas.

The high tea came with lovely tea sets and little cakes and scones. I wish I was wearing a nice dress to complement the settings.
