We plan to stay here for a week to get organized, get all necessary visa & to check out Bangkoks famous tourist spots.
So this is the start of the endless TEMPLE-TOUR infront of us. With the motto "too much is never enough" we jumped into it and packed a full day with the highlights of Bangkok:
The Teak Palace Vimenmek & the Marble Temple
Starving for food ...
... we checked out the next food stalls which you can find everywhere
Of course we can`t miss the Wat Pra Keo with Thailands most important Budda statue - the Emerald Buddha & the Royal Palace!
Don`t listen to anyone who tells you that these temple are closed - they are always open - its a scam ... just ignore them and walk on ;-)
Just around the corner is the huge reclining Buddha - Wat Po - where we set back for an hour and enjoyed the traditional thai foot massage at one of the most famous schools just in the back of the temple!
Bangkok once consist of many waterways, where it gets its name ... Venice of the east. You can still find some and it is the fastest way to travel in this always traffic jamed city!
Once of the boat you have to walk - still faster than a Taxi! With burning feet we made it to Chinatown - the Mekka for seafood lovers...
The food here is really delicious and the best reward to ourselves after this trip!
Finally the weather cooled down a bit as the daily evening thunderstorm sets in...
ONE NIGHT IN BANGKOK ...
