Bangkok

---

So, the bustling city of Bangkok was a contrast to the relaxation in Kanachanaburi!

I arrived 2 days ago to meet a few friends. We then went to a night market in Silom- after experiencing the general Bangkok traffic on the bus! The market had general touristy knockoffs and Asian gear- sandals, lasers, belts, t shirts etc and then some Thailand red district things. We had dinner (they really like Japanese cuisine in that area) and went to some bars.

The following day we went on the boat tour of the canals of Bangkok- which are strangely hidden from Public eye until you get on the river, this allowed us to really have a good view of all of Bangkok as it also took us near to tourist attractions. Bangkok is busy but also has the mix of modern city and Thai temples. We followed this by going to the Palace-where they are getting ready to celebrate the Queen of Thailands birthday and Golden Mountain and the Standing Buddha.

Golden Mounatin gave a fantastic view of Bangkok and was really worth a visit. The standing buddha was alright, but just a Golden Buddha with a temple area. Anyway, I got to head as I am running out of minutes but I wil upload pictures and keep you updated. Later.
