To be fair, we got free peanuts too along with our expensive Singapore Slings at the Long Bar at Raffles. They had us toss the shells on the floor so the oils would keep the wood fresh. Also, don't forget Gore Vidal's association with The Oriental in Bangkok. I once saw him there at the Bamboo Bar. Cheers.
Have you been to the Elephant Bar at Centara in Hua Hin? The bar, along with the entire lobby area where the bar is located reminds me of the other grand hotels in your post. I understand the Elephant Bar is being renovated at the moment, however, so I haven't stopped by the last few months. Ta.
This is a wonderful piece. It charts the psyche of a bygone age from rise to fall through its writers giving us insights into their time and the strong desire to read them!
Thank you I am glad you liked it and that it inspired a desire to read them. The next piece will look how the modern travel writers viewed this region.Thanks again.🌻🌻
