Day 6: Bangkok

Arrived around 9:30 am, checked into hotel by Sukhumvit road. 

First stop, local noodle shop!

Only 30 baht, but more importantly, was so so delicious.

Cool dessert thing, cost like $0.75 for a big box of these freshly made wafers with some sort of cream and shredded sweet carrots.

One of hundreds of vendors along the road

The Grand Palace - admission of 500 baht

Really interesting architecture

Murals

Reliquary - storage of sacred texts  

Rawr, I'm a monster

Good guard lion

The King's Palace I believe

Ministry of defense

Reclining Buddha - enormous and impressive

A friend of kittens everywhere

Prangs - architectural motif here

Wat Arun - Temple of Dawn

A tuk-tuk cart ride, we paid a flat rate so he was motivated to get us through fast. The ride was insanity, and a must-have experience in Bangkok.
Such a thrill that I can't wait to do it again.

It was crazy fast, like a go-kart ride in heavy urban streets
