So far we have loved exploring Bangkok! It is such a diverse and bustling city. We spent our first in Bangkok in the "convenient grand hotel" which was both grand and convenient! We woke up to a continental breakfast and an outdoor pool all to ourselves. :) The initial culture shock was fully received when we took a taxi into the heart of Bangkok. We are staying in a neighbourhood not occupied by tourism, and although we enjoyed khao sarn road, we feel safe and comfortable in our little neighbourhood where we are the only "gringos." Today we caught our local bus (a pickup truck with a canopy over the bed) and transferred onto a water taxi which took us to the famous wat pho temple. This temple is the home to the largest reclining buddha in the world. Or at least the largest reclining Buddha we've ever seen... :P 

7/11 is a handy best friend for all our basic needs, and air conditioning. We took a tuk tuk to a tuk tuk to a huge mall and experienced some of bollywood's best on the big screen. Talk about haiiiigh rollers! 

Looking forward to the rest of our stay here in the Bangkok. 

Crushed it. 

Ta for now.
