Thailand

Our first night in Bangkok, after already 10 days in Thailand, we decided to westernize for the night and visited a mall: Terminal 21.

It was an amusing mall because each floor was themed based on a city: women’s clothes in Paris and Tokyo, men’s clothes in London, jewelry in Istanbul, etc.  The top floor is Hollywood, which is a multiplex cinema.

Our favorite was San Francisco, which was a giant food court.

We wandered the city a bit.

The next couple of days we did the typical tourist attractions.  Having been warned about the traffic in the city, we were proud of ourselves figuring out how to get around with a combination of the sky train and the public water buses.

First he Grand Palace

Wat Pho with the famous reclining Buddha

 

And then the ferry across to Wat Arun

And finally, another mall, one of the highest class I have ever seen.

And now it is on to Northern Thailand, ahead of the storm!
