Exhausted after our 1st day in Bangkok. So don't have the energy to write like a sane person, so for now, I thought I'd just add a couple of pics and some random thoughts:- love, love, love the hotel (Park Plaza Sukhumvit). It has such a cool, minimalist, modern vibe (and the coolest bathroom ever) - I want to this to be my apartment!
- Everything is so efficient here, espcially the subway/skytrain and the water ferries. The ferries are so great, an especially nice way to get around since its about 85 degrees and about 80% humidity.
- Wat Pho - just gorgious! I can't see enough Buddahs! Also, Thailand's oldest massage school is on the grounds, so had to try an authentic Thai massage and for about $11 for a full hour couldn't pass that up!
- Once again, finding its hard navigating a new city when you can't communicate where you want to go or understand what someone is trying to say to you (i.e., a sit-down resturant). But everything works out in the end and it becomes a new adventure ;->
- The Thai people are genuinely nice and try to be super helpful - one woman couldn't explain how to get up there, so she walked us three blocks just show us! Very, very sweet people.
- Awesome Thai curry soup w/coconut milk, lemongrass, and mushrooms - YUM! "Resturant" was a real dive and nothing else was even as good as back home, but the soup was great!
