Today was spent in meetings. Not that that was a bad thing since they were both really interesting, but I can't top the elephant and tiger post from yesterday.
We started today by going to the Robinson Department Store. The company owned a ton of businesses and franchises, so it was an interesting speech. We then got to shop :)
Our afternoon was spent in meetings with the staff of the 5 star hotel we are staying at - the Dusit Thani. If any of you paid attention to the riots that took place here in Thailand earlier this year, it was this hotel that was featured a ton. They were attacked by a rocket launched grenade. It was very interesting to hear first hand what they went through and how they dealt with it from a PR perspective. It could have ruined the brand since they were often featured on sites like CNN about being right in the center of the action, but they marketed themselves wisely and came out in an even better position. Google the hotel and red shirts or check out CNN for web clips.
We are now heading to dinner near backpackers paradise which is apparently the best place for backpackers in the world since it is cheap and fun. Dinner will be there.
Tomorrow we are doing all of the traditional touristy stuff...the big Budda, Wat Po, etc
Sorry, no pics today. I took some pics, but nothing worth uploading since I only have limited broadband. I'll make up for it tomorrow, promise :)
