BANGKOK : 3 quick days

Foating restaurant on the river in Bangkok

A quiet respite from the hustle and bustle of Bangkok, the Thompson museum-Nicki's suggestion.

Views of our river taxi ride. 3 dollars for the two of us and we were on the river for an hour and a half.

Accomodations in front of the temples.

The next three pictures are of the Grand Palace in Bangkok.

An interesting bridge.

Some of the houses were pretty basic along the river.

This was the view from our hotel room. Note the elevated roadways and also directly below us is a temple with living accomodations for the monks. Couldn't hear the noise from the traffic in our room at all and the Monks were very quiet as well.

Inside a large park, we came upon these people doing exercices to music. They are on a roadway in the middle of the park.

A small wat that we visited prior to going to the
Grand Palace.

Shawn and Rebecca and Jannose beside our Tuk Tuks. We
went on a tour suggested by some people we met at a market.
Nicki said never to do things like that, but we had a great time.
Shawn and Rebecca, also from Australia,(we seem to meet
an awful lot of them lately) were on their way to India and then were
trying to get into China through Tibet. Haven't found out yet
if they were able to or not.

We didn't buy these pants. You can't go into the Grand Palace with shorts so the Jewellry Shop where we bought some rings bought us these ones. We got to pick our colours. I chose the purple ones. Shawn needs to work on not chopping off heads in pictures although we were all laughing a lot concerning these pants.
