... couldn't go and bash her show, so I said, "Yes, CSI, that is exactly what I do..."<br><br>Next, I went to Wat Po, which is in possession of the world's largest reclining Buddha, whom indeed, is quite large, and looks quite content to be lying down. At Wat Po, they also aim to preserve Thai medicine, including Thai massage. Well of course, then I had to get one, because this is where they learn to do it! I will just have to summarize the massage as being ...

... t a 'must see&#8217; on the tourist trail. With low hopes we then visited the National Museum &#8211; this turned out to be a very interesting place and gave lots of information about the history of Thailand and showed off golden treasure, ancient weapons as well as the elephant seats the Royal family used to use. It is well worth a visit!<br><br>We also ventured outside Bangkok and visited the &#8216;Bridge on The River Kwai&#8217; along with a ...

... sterile, and full of expensive brand-name products (believe it or not, there were Ferraris and Lamborghinis for sale on the fifth floor). The day held two very opposing shopping experiences, though neither inspired us to actually buy anything. <br><br> On Monday, we went to the Royal Palace and the two most famous temples in Bangkok; one contains an enormous "reclining Buddha" and the other the renowned "emerald Buddha." As we ...

I woke up early because the room was too cold.. that was quite unexpected. We got a cab to MBK shopping centre but it wasnt open yet. Whilst wondering what to do next, a tuk-tuk driver (a road worthy moped/lawnmower with back seating attachment) asked if we wanted to see the 'export centre' so we went. The tuk-tuk ride was fun, quite nerve racking. the export centre was nice, loads of jewels and the room was stunning. They had sharks in the middle of it! <br ...

... a look around at the various monasteries and government buildings and saw groups of Buddhist monks wearing their orange robes, meditating and paying respect around the Royal Monastery of the Emerald Buddha. One of the most visually impressive buildings was the Phra Maha Monthian buildings used as the audience halls for state ceremonies such the King's birthday. The Upper Terrace monuments are also amazing to see, which include the intriguing golden chedi building. <br><br ...

... scantily clad Thai women handing out fliers for all the restuarants and bars. And then there are just tons of tourists, mostly backpackers. There is music coming from everywhere, the shouts of people trying to get you to buy their food, and voices of women trying to get you to come into their massage parlors. <br><br>Cash showed me around yesterday and I was very glad that I was not navigating this street on my own! He showed me all the ...

... much of Bangkok just in my rides to and from the market. Of course, I got on the wrong bus twice before I got on the right one, thanks to wrong instructions from the tourist office, but the bus conductors and locals were very helpful in helping me get where I wanted to go. Which isn't that hard, because about 30 buses go to the market from where I'm staying, so it's actually pretty impressive that the tourist office managed to give me a ...

... night. It was getting late and like I said before we had been traveling that day for 30 hours straight. I feel like a whiner every time I say that because Dr. Kimberly works 30 plus hours in one day all the time!<br><br>So on our way back the street where blocked off protesters in the street. Thousands of Thai red shirts protesting by march with signs. <br><br>Being that we where ...
