Bangkok – Thailand
Back to Bangkok. This will be my last stop for a little while!! When I was here last, the king just passed away, so the Grand Palace was closed. I missed seeing the Grand Palace by a few minutes, it was closed to tourist by 3:30pm. So it seems like my Bangkok theme is to visit all of the major attractions but not actually go in…I guess I will have to come back!
- Chatuchak Market – most of the market was closed since it was during the week. However, I did get a photo of the famous clock tower
- The Grand Palace and the area around the Grand Palace – I will have to come back!
- The Giant Swing – I went here because I was looking for a specific restaurant and this was the closest known location that the tuk-tuk driver recognized. Needless to say, I could not find the restaurant. I did get a picture of the swing.
- Democracy Monument and 1993 Monument – I passed these monuments trying to find the restaurant.
- Jim Thompson House – It has been one of those “not finding thing” days, so I decided to skip the house tour and hang out in the cafe.
- MBK Center – These pictures are near the MBK Center (shopping mall) and the Bangkok Art and Culture Center.
- Patpong Night Market: I know the pictures are sideways. I took these with my phone camera and didn’t have a chance to fix them yet.
- China town: I know the pictures are sideways. I took these with my phone camera and didn’t have a chance to fix them yet.
Bye Bangkok. I guess I will have to come back again!
