Arrived in Bangkok via short but VERY rough ferry and an overnight bus ride (read - miserable) from Koh Tao this morning at a nice and sparkly 5AM and showed the crew around town while playing tour guide - hit all the sites of last time (Grand Palace, Siam, MBK, Reclining Buddha, Wat Arun, etc) but took more pictures as the last are currently being viewed by some Balinese punk.... It was hard to believe walking the streets this afternoon that I was basically retracing my first days in Asia TWO MONTHS ago! Not much has changed in Bangkok but I have been so many places and met so many people - I ran into the same miserable ticket lady at Wat Arun and was again yelled at for no apparent reason, got lost again in China Town, again had to hire a Tuk Tuk for a return trip from Siam Square as our bus simply would not come - two big differences as this time around I have friends and the weather is absolutely perfect.
Some pictures below for your viewing pleasure... (Okay just sat for twenty minutes and the pics are not loading but will post tomorrow)....
Tomorrow heading to Chang Mai on a night train but tonight going to enjoy Bangkok with friends so should be an adventure...
