Another day sweating in Bangkok

Another temple we think

Nice smoked duck

And again we walked around Bangkok soon becoming exhausted by walking for so long in this heat and humidity and we realised that we have in fact covered a lot of ground in the past few days, ticking off many of the main tourist sights and things to do.

(Even if it meant just peeking over the wall into palaces as we weren’t dressed appropriately).

Nice old houses

Making our tasty spring rolls

We decided to go and see Th Khao San (road) which is the main backpacker’s street, which reassured us that where we are staying in Lumphini was the perfect choice away from the scams and hassle in a local area.

The train station waiting area

To get there we took the underground, which is our favourite mode of transport for efficiency in Bangkok, the sky train and then a Ferry and in between all this, a lot of walking.

It was a nice day and although we have yet to see some Thai Boxing and a Ping-Pong show, we’ve decided to leave that for our next visit here and went to the train station and luckily managed to book the last 2 train tickets to Chang Mai for tomorrow evening.
