DAY 1!!
Arrived in bangkok safely yesterday. We checked in and met up with Rich, who is now travelling with us for the rest of thailand and malaysia. Went out for a nice first meal and then drank on the street! Had a couple of cocktails, presented to you in buckets, and met some other people travelling.
Today we walked to the Grand Palace, which was unfortunatley shut as the princess has died! We then went to Wat Phra Kaew, the emerald buddha. Pinder had to buy some hilarious trousers as he was wearing shorts and amy had to buy a hawiian shirt! The temple was gorgeous, and will try and put up photos when i get more time.
We then walked to Wat Po- The reclining buddha, which was a massive gold plated buddha. Once we'd done all the religious bits and bobs we got a taxi to the Phra Sumen Fort and crossed the Banglumpho canal.
We then got a boat down the Chao Phraya River to Chinatown. Here we wandered and wandered and went to a nice place for lunch. We then got a tuk tuk back to the hotel!!! Pinder has taken charge and been brilliant at directing us everywhere!
Had a busy day and just deciding where we are going to go after bangkok.
We're going on a tour at 7am tomorrow to the floating markets, the river kwai and to a tiger temple.
Hope everyone is ok back in england! (and wales)! Miss you all and love you loads xxxx
