Bangkok

Was I left behind?

We had a complimentary overnight at the Shangri-la hotel in Bangkok. The port is about two hours drive from downtown on a new expressway that did not exist when Dad used to do business here.

We went on a short cruise on the Chao Praya river into the little canals called klongs to observe how people live in little wooden shacks on the water.
