Bangkok!

So it's my last night in Bangkok. I've enjoyed my time here, although I haven't found it as crazy people say. It may have to do with the fact that I'm not staying downtown. But part of the fun of Bangkok has been getting around. My favourite part has been taking the ferry. It's the fast, cheapest and most fun! It's a great way to see the city and the boat is so rudimentary. I get on to the boat by jumping off of the pier. The sides are made of plastic which can be easily stepped over.




After I recovered from the crazy trip up to Bangkok I went to see the Grand Palace. The buildings are all so ornate. I couldn't get over the attention to detail of all the buildings. I don't even know if the photos can do this place justice. After I went to dinner on Khao San Road, the backpackers paradise.


The next day I went to the Siam Centre, sort of the yorkville of Bangkok. After I toured around Lumphini Park, where many Thais go to work out. It's a huge greenspace in the middle of the city. It even has outdoor weight machines.

After I went to the night market and participated in some bargining. It's a really difficult way to shop, and proved to be exhausting.


My final day here was a bit of a bust since there's a storm. I had planned on going to the zoo. Tomorrow I will go to the weekend market, it's the biggest market in the world. And then to Chiang Mai.
