Now back on our travels. Mike with a new spring in his ticker, and Yvonne with a whole new itinerary.
Left Birmingham on Tuesday, arrived in Bangkok the next day. 6 hours ahead here, so if anyone wants the euro million numbers.......
Spent 3 nights in Bangkok and did: trips to Wat Pho, (Reclining Buddha), Wat Arun (Buddhist Temple of Dawn), and the street markets. Used the river boats to get about along the Chao Phraya, the main river through Bangkok. Very cheap at a few baht a time. (1 baht is about 2p)
Decided to go as far as stop 1, starting at 13, as it is the same price no matter how many stops one goes.
Yvonne soon found her sea legs, although mike would not make a good pirate unless his dastardly duty was to vomit on people to make them submit.
When we got off Yvonne had cup of green tea, it was so green it fluoresced. She wanted to compete with Mike's complexion...
Street food is fabulous, and the Thai's love their beer, which was very good news for Mike!!
Tomorrow we go to Kanchanburi by river boat and train. Kanchanburi famed for the 'Death Railway' over the River Kwai, and 'Hellfire Pass'.
Leave you with some photos of Bangkok.
