Day 2 here in Bangkok. There has been political unrest here near the Parliament however, we have no seen any signs of it. I guess it's far from the touristy stuff. Mission accomplished yesterday.... we took showers! We've had a busy day discovering Bangkok. Got up early and saw the Grand Palace and the reclining buddha. It was way too hot to stay out longer, so we took a dip in the pool. We were craving some greasy American food after that.. yum nachos! Pad Thai and fried rice is just way to hard to eat when it's 90 degrees (don't know the conversion to celsius).
I thought I'd share some interesting lines we've heard so far from locals:
Tuk Tuk driver (cabbies): You come, 10 Bhat only, I take you to Grand Palace
Street vendors: 5 Bhat only, you try, you eat
Street vendor: Pretty color, look nice, you want, you buy.. I make deal
Margee: Excuse me, what is this?
Street vendor: 10 bhat only
Margee: But what is it? Something to eat? Soap
Street vendor: Ok, you buy, 5 bhat only
Margee: (walks away)
I'll share more later....off to the Floating Market!
*Sorry, unable to upload pics but never fear I'm sure I'll be sending all 500 pics to you soon :-)
