...welcome to Bangkok, the city where it takes an hour to drive 5 blocks...
...we rode bikes around the Ancient City, a park that has tons of replicas of all the cool places in Thailand...
...took a 50 cent boat ride down the river...
...ate extremely delicious seafood at a beach restaurant, watched the incredible sunset, and the most amazing lightening storm right inside of those clouds...
...sunrise on the way to the real beach at 5 in the morning...
...the real beach. pictures don't do it justice. we've never seen water so blue and trees so green...Couple other things about Bangkok...
12 hour overnight bus ride to and from: definitely worth it.
Mont: quaint little restaurant that serves...get ready for it...toast! Toast with peanut butter, honey, pumpkin sauce, jelly, chocolate, sweet and condensed milk...you name it, they have it. It's fantastic.
Weekend market: so huge that a whole afternoon there only let us see two rows of the half a square mile that it covers.
Taxi rides: extremely memorable. especially the tuk tuk that broke down 3 minutes after we got in as he tried to drive up the highway ramp and the 30 minute taxi ride in a car with a broken muffler and broken radio that replayed the zombie song at least a thousand times.
Massages: Thai massages are legendary and we've had the privilege of finding out why. Twice. You have to get a Thai massage if you visit Bangkok, but when you do, make sure your massage person is really and actual woman rather than a ladyman (lady who's really a man...always look at the adam's apple...it's the telltale sign) or else your massage may end up being much more painful than you anticipate. (Holly can give you details about that)
Go to Bangkok. You won't forget it.
