Bangkok

Days 66 to 73: Bangkok

Considering we spent just under two weeks in Thailand's capital city, we didn't see an awful lot. We did visit quite a few embassies to inquire about visa's, saw the pingpong show (thanks for the tip, Leza!), sat in the holiest temple in all of Thailand which housed the emerald\jade Buddah (the most sacred one). We ate till we were nearly sick at the Marriot Resort and Spa's Sunday Brunch buffet; gorging on oysters, steak, caviar, sushi and the most delectable desserts you could possibly imagine. We were ripped off royally by the tuk-tuk drivers for the first three days, driven nearly insane by the incessant touts who failed to recognise us night after night after night and by the end of our stay in Bangkok, were quite glad to leave. We braved the Bangkok traffic on our bikes a number of times, and sadly waved goodbye to Bill on day 72 – he's off to Cambodia...

Not much more to say really, so here are the pics!













Lee Lee tries the oysters...



and seems to like them....!



Kate's turn next, but it doesn't seem to have the desired effect....!





Instead, she turns to the tried and trusted desserts table.....



Kate slept for 23 hours solid following this meal.
