India and Nepal 2022
I decide to take things easy today and continue my recuperation from my abdominal surgery, which I need to remind myself was less than a week ago.
I take the skytrain to the ferry jetty where I buy a ticket for the tourist boat up and down the river which cuts through Bangkok.
The waterway has changed so much over the years and now huge modern appartment blocks and offices dominate the skyline along the river banks. There are still occasional reminders of wooden houses on the waters edge, 'old Asia' as is it often referred to.
Memories flood back from 2012 when Livy and I made this same trip on our wonderful holiday in Thailand.
The Royal Palace and Wat Arun are the major features to see from the vantage point of the river but on this occasion, I remain on the boat and watch the other tourists explore the sights.
The skytrain takes me back close to the hotel where I am staying for a few days. I have enjoyed the little outing today but I'm ready to return now back 'home' to my life in Yangon and continue the volunteer adventure for another two months before flying back to Colchester.
