After a long flight and a few very politically incorrect things to do (try whisky and Doha...) we arrived in Bangkok. Smooth taxi ride to the condo, probably as guns and drugs were forbidden in the cab.
A long night sleep later we woke up, some more jet lagged than others. I (Guido writing) was the Energizer Bunny as usual...
Eventually we set off to the temples of Wat Pho, first by Metro and then by Taxi. Nice old taxi driver, who scammed us out of the double fare. As it was either paying 2.5 euro of 4 euro, I decided not to kick off in one of my usual rants. Temples were great and the investment into the personal tourist guide (300THB) was worth every Baht. Shame he struggled on the zoom though.
The temples were quite an amazing experience. See for yourself. After a hearty lunch we decided to take the bus back to the Metro, only to end up in a Taxi again (the bus never showed up and we were at the correct stop). Taxi was a death trap on four wheels, having to stop at a gas station to refill...the tires with air !.
Guy was honest but useless, as he dropped us off at the wrong end of Lat Proa Road. we were told to tell the taxi driver to go to Big C (a supermarket) on Lat Proa Road. Only that there are TWO Big C's...
Ah well - a few bahts later we aere back safe and sound and off to the roof top pool (wait for the pictures....).
Here are some photos of the day
