We arrived late Friday night after a quick happy hour with some friends in HK. Our hotel was in the Old city right off the Chao Phraya River. It was small and simple but very clean and had a convenient location.
We spent the first day touring the Grand Palace, Wat Phra Kaeo, Wat Pho, and Wat Arun. We also took a long boat tour around the canals. It was once called the Venice of Asia. You'll see in the pictures below. It's not as fancy! We took a dip in the rooftop pool to finish out the day to try to cool off from a hot and sweaty day of touring. Then we spent the evening around Khao San Rd which is know as the backpackers area. It had tons of shopping, street food, bars, restaurants, massage/beauty salons, etc.

Wow- so cool! I can't believe you ate a cricket, I am very impressed!
whoops, did not mean to be anonymous, the cricket comment was from me- love V!
Tuk tuks, pad thai, fried crickets, bargain prices, wats – some of our favorite things of Bangkok!
