Bangkok - Part III

A day in Bangkok in which we visited the Grand Palace, the resting place of the Emerald Buddha which is actually made of Jade. One interesting thing was that there was a miniature model of Angkor Wat which you can see in one of the shots

You don't go to Thailand without catching at least one Muay Thai fight. I don't think I need to explain much here.

I'm not going to give any explanations for these photos, just know they were taken on one day where we rented bikes and checked out the surrounding area.

And this one's my favorite.

And this one was from the roof of our hotel at sunset.

After leaving Wu Wei Su we had a few days until our flight to Bangkok so we went on a hike, visited our friend Ying Chang who gave us calligraphy instruction and just enjoyed the town.

This pagoda was closed and not yet open as a tourist attraction but you can still walk up to it.

Man and donkey, both wondering why we are there.

This one is for Tracey.

Some critters on the hike.

We stayed at a hotel for Chinese, there is a separation between tourist hotels and Chinese hotels, some of which won't let you stay. We found this place by luck and a lot of walking but it was cheaper than any tourist place and we had our own room, bathroom, hot water thermos for tea and a really nice owner, Mr Lee.
