Bangkok

We've been busy these past few days trying to maximize the amount of stuff we could do while in Bangkok for merely two days. I'm impressed because we did a lot!

Yesterday we took the skytrain then a boat bus (not sure the proper term but it was cool) to same of the temples-wat pho, grand palace and wat arun. We did not go into any but admired from a far then took a tuk tuk to Khoa San road. From there we buses back down town and to kill time before the night market opened we window shopped through one of the city's massive malls. Then we headed of to the market where we spent a couple hours looking through all that the little booths and shops had to offer. By this point we were tired so we headed back to our hostel.

We started the day of today by going to a mall called Terminal 21, every floor has a different country's theme-Japan, Pairs, London, Istanbul...etc. It was great. After we scouted out the sky bar and then checked out another market. When we got back to our hostel I spent a good hour packing my bag trying to fit everything...oh the struggles of back packing...

The first few photos are still from our last night in Phuket at the food market down the road from us. We were finally starting to feel better and wanted to try some cheap local food. We fell in love with these chocolate/banana crepes that they make for less than $2 and the fresh fruit smoothies.

Don't worry, we did not try any of the seafood...not sure our stomachs were ready to handle that anyway. 

 

Bangkok has awesome sky trains like Vancouvers which we used most of the time to get around.

But we couldn't resist taking a tuk tuk. 

Today we were on a hunt for a view and read online about some awesome rooftop bars. Drinks were insanely over price but the view was amazing and was a good way to end of the trip. 

Heading home tomorrow! Since I'm flying standby who knows when ill be back or what flights I'm taking but fingers crossed that the HGK-YYZ then home. Sadly Jim and I will be going separate ways. :'(

Hope to see you all at the barbecue on Tuesday. Jim and I are both looking forward to getting home and sharing our stories.
