Apres une bonne premiere nuit bien meritee, nous continuons notre visite de Bangkok, a pied cette fois-ci.<br>Tout le monde ici est tres sympa et vous raconte leur vie mais a Bangkok la plupart d'entre eux ne vous parlent que pour vous faire aller quelque part ou il toucheront une commission, mais bon, comme on dit en anglais, "fair enough" qui veut dire "ca se comprend" !!<br><br>Le Palais Royal est juste magnifique et ...

... that we can buy very cheaply and take for granted. And who knows how much they're being paid. <br>I managed a spicy dish at lunch and then we fooled around by a Muay Thai statue, I think there's a picture from it.<br><br>There was a supermarket where Charlotte and Julie Ann bought lots of food. All of those who went to Washington or Garfield, do you remember the electrophoresis labs we did where you'd use agar as the substance to put they dyes in? Yeah I saw cans of ...

... visited another couple of temples, went to a local market and visited the national museum - the treasures that have been found within the Wats have to be seen to be believed. We got talking to a couple of people at the guest house who recommended a restuarant on a boat on the river, so we decided to give that a try and were not disappointed. At night all of the temples are lit up and it is wonderful to see them all as you are driven by Tuk ...

On our way back to Bangkok after playing with the monkeys, we stopped in Ayutthaya to visit the archaeological site and have dinner. Dane and I had been there several times before, but so late in the day we had the entire site to ourselves. And the temple ruins looked almost magical at ...

... pours in the boat. All of our gear is getting wet and all try our best to keep it dry---but it is impossible. The waves are bad enough in the harbor, but as soon as we hit open sea it is like a roller coaster ride from hell. For a few minutes it is like fun-"Woooo Hooo ride 'em cowboy"! But the fun ends when the guy next to me says, "It is a 1 ½ hr ride out to the islands on a good day, and it's over 60KM away". I am like, what?!!!!! I don't ...

... The next morning there were what appeared to be snake-like markings all over the floors and walls. To me, the marking look like those of a large python that possibly slithered into the temple but others believe that something mystical happened. A mystery indeed! For the remainder of the morning we visited several other modern and ancient temples. The nicest being some ancient ruins whose name eludes me. Exploring ancient ruins is an ...

Another early start in the morning and a trip to Ayutthaya which is North of Bangkok and was the old capital of Thailand. It was sacked and destroyed by the Burmese about 400 years ago and the royal family moved the capital close to where Bangkok is now. Good fact - Bangkok is not the real name of the city, just it's nickname. The real name is the longest name in the ...

... the months prior to the holiday. I introduce myself and she pretends she knows who I am and welcomes us to the Resort (on our last day, how ironic). I ask if it would be possible for her to arrange for us to see the 3 Private Beachfront Villas - and she does immediately! We're escorted to the Villas by the lovely Reception girls. Needless to say the Villas are spectacular. Gorgeously furnished with private pools and gardens, right on the ...

... is a queue 3 people deep at this particular stall. The balls come with a salad, large whole chillies (of course) and a stick. I hold up a THB10 coin and he gives me 10 balls. I bypass the salad and tuck into the balls which are very strange, even to me. They are stuffed with ground rice and what seems like somesort of offall - could be liver, could be brains, could be testicles. It has that floury consistency. I give Henry 1 to try and Rob eats ...
