We got into Bangkok last night (12/07) at 11:45pm. The flight was long and we were very loopy upon arrival. We then waited in a long line to get a taxi to the place where we had reservations. Slept great in a room with no window but fantastic ambiance. Woke up this morning rested and ready to be tourists. We had some delicious fresh fruit and homemade yogurt and homemade crispy rice and coconut museli for breakfast. After that we walked through the stinkiest open air market and we almost threw it all up. Seriously, it was NASTY! Rottiing fish bits and raw (uncovered in the 95 degree heat) meats were a main feature at the market.
We have already seen numerous wats (buddhist temples) around Bangkok and we're looking forward to going inside some. They are very fancy. We rode in a tuk-tuk (a three-wheeled, open-air taxi/truck/moped). Now, we're off to the airport to head south to the town of Krabi.
So far, everthing's been pretty smooth. Not bad jet lag, and pretty easy to get around.
More soon,
Kerry & Adrian
