Suzanne Harrington: Bangkok is banging hot spot, so I need my nana naps
Suzanne Harrington: "Forget Istanbul fakes — the best fakes in the world are in Bangkok."
If you add a 57-year-old woman to 37-degree heat, 74% humidity, 12m people, 18,000 steps a day, the world’s fourth-worst levels of air pollution, and two bouncy Gen Z travel companions, what do you get? Knackered. Knackered is what you get. Wiped out.
Needing nana naps by three in the afternoon, laughed at by your youthful companions who suggest hiring you a mobility scooter. Horizontal by 9pm, while the Gen Zs, fully reloaded after a shower and an ice-cold Chang, head out into the suffocating night for more adventure, leaving you watching Muay Thai on the telly with the aircon turned up to 11.
