Day 3 in BKK

3rd and last (full)day in Bangkok. Royal Palaces on the menu.

After a later start, we eventually made it to the Royal Palaces. Really nice place, shame that that its precinct is crawling with the scum of this earth and the best con artists that Bangkok can offer. Thank God for the grumpy germanz, who a/ pointed us to the right direction (which our almost honest cabbie had done too) and b/ shouted they are all liars. Which they were.

I had a sudden change of clothes to do, as I was wearing shorts. Instead, and to show my respect, I had to wear trousers strait out of the Thai Department of Corrections and you won't be seeing them either. On the grounds you still have to be on your guard as Thai (and thus some thieves - I am not generalizing here) enter the grounds for free. So obviously if you are a Thai pick pocket...

Place itself underwent major renovation works, so most temples were shut.

Afterwards it was off to the cinema and The Dark Knight Rises. So did everyone else in the cinema,as this is what you do around here, as after the ads and before the show, they play the National Anthem.
