Sleeping Around wins ‘Travel Book of the Year’
August 23rd, 2009
Yes, wow! I still can’t believe it myself, but last night at the Australian Society of Travel Writers Awards night in Bangkok I won ‘Travel Book of the Year’. I was honoured and chuffed just to be a finalist, but I was pretty much flabbergasted when I actually won it! I even had to go up onto the stage in front of the 200 guests and give a speech (a very short one). I’ll post a pic of the award/trophy when I get home (it’s a very flash glass one!). So, I’ve had a bit of a sore head today. And it probably wasn’t a good idea to go on a four-hour bike tour of Bangkok in the heat when I’d been still drinking Mojitos at two in the morning on the roof top bar at the Centara Grand (check out the pic of the bar from my previous blog). The other wonderful thing about my award is that I also won four nights staying at any one of the Small Luxury Hotels of the World - including places like this in Ubud, Bali…
