Ahhh, Bangkok!

Arriving in Bangkok was so wonderful!

No one was using a horn as a method of signaling (as they do in India).
The streets and buildings and shops were modern and clean.



The locals were extremely friendly.
The food was safe.
It was all very refreshing.

One of the first activities that we signed up for right away was a tour through a local market, a boat trip through some local villages and the floating village where you can shop for food, drinks and goods.  











But really, we mostly wandered through the city, visited the Grand Palace and the Reclining Buddha.







And we rested while we also planned our side trips to Cambodia and Chiang Mai. 





While we were in Thailand, there was an election coming up.   I wanted this guy to win, but the lady who promised laptops and an internet connection for every school kid won.

  1. As I asked before, who's the scary lokin' guy?
    The shopping options look interesting.
    Does the dragon see the dentist regularly?
