Well, after 24 hours of travel we arrived in Bangkok after midnight on Wednesday.
Today, we ventured forth to explore the city. We took the SkyWay to the river. We signed up for an all day river taxi pass.
We went to the Grand Palace where the sister of the king is laying in state. Not sure when she passed, but we were not allowed to view her but the Thai people were allowed into that area. The Palace is very beautiful with sparkling tiles all over the buildings.
We saw the Jade Bhudda - the most sacred Bhudda in Thailand who is offended if you point your toes at him. Unfortunately, we were not allowed to take pictures inside the building.
It was very hot today - 33c/93f. We both got a bit burned today.
We had lunch at the Oriental Hotel which is a very luxurious hotel on the river. We had Thai tapas specialties which were very tasty along with a couple of cold Thai beers - Singha.
Off to explore the famous shopping district and find some dinner.
