Today continued our tour d' sweat as we spent the day touring all the big Bangkok sites. The morning was spent visiting the 5 ton golden Buddha and the longest reclining Buddha and two more Wats (Wat Po, Wat Arun). After some meatless pad thai for lunch, we continued our tour with a trip to the Grand Palace (so much bling!), the Emerald Buddha (actually made of jade), and a long boat ride along the Bangkok canals.

Overall it was a great intro to Bangkok. Tomorrow we leave the city and head up North..

Meatless travelers

We are management consultants from San Francisco. We travel a whole lot for work, but that is nowhere near as much fun as traveling together to countries we have always wanted to visit. We embarked on a 3 month trip around the Asia Pacific in 2012, and used this blog to post pictures and (some) comments for friends and family that want to follow our travels, including our 2-3 week trip around India in an auto-rickshaw! Nearly a year from our 3 month trip, we have again hit the road for a "de-toxing" trip into the mountains and valleys of Patagonia in Argentina and Chile...... full info
