After a lovely calendar week in Hua Hin, nosotros made our agency dorsum to Bangkok to pass the nighttime as well as sight come across for the day. Our hotel sat correct on the Chao Phraya River, which runs through the pump of Bangkok. (Last year, nosotros explored the Sukhumvit area of Bangkok, thence it was fun to remain inward a dissimilar role of town.) After checking in, nosotros hopped on a H2O taxi to caput to a pop tourist area.
We passed several historic buildings, this i was real run downwards but was a hub for trade, at i time. It could go a magnificent edifice if restored.
I also loved this beautiful Catholic cathedral dating dorsum to the 1800's.
The boat ride also helped give us some much needed ventilation.
Mind you lot it was hot! My telephone said "feels like" 111*, earlier 11:00 am. Whew! Coincidentally, ii of our 4 trips to Thailand only happened to go inward April, the hottest calendar month of the year. Poor planning on our part, I suppose!
Our offset halt of the hateful solar daytime was Wat Pho, abode of the famous "Reclining Buddha".
The mention said it all, he was big,
as well as reclining!
I also liked the interesting statues hanging to a greater extent than or less the grounds.
After 3 years inward Asia, nosotros induce got seen lots of golden Buddha's.
Lots as well as lots of Buddha's.
The item as well as colouring on the monuments was exquisite!
We enjoyed wandering the grounds, fifty-fifty through the heat.
This one-time tree was fascinating.
My "Wally World" minute of this trip was discovering that Wat Arun was shut for renovation, as well as was surrounded inward scaffolding.
So, I missed the iconic nighttime film that has boot the bucket synoymous amongst Bangkok. Sigh. Next time.

I absolutely honey the roots of a banyan tree.
Finally, the oestrus got to us as well as nosotros decided to supply to the hotel for High Tea. It was SO worth it!
In the flush nosotros wandered a marketplace past times the river area,
as well as sipped a cocktail called "One Night inward Bangkok", of course!
In the morn nosotros had fourth dimension for a lovely breakfast, as well as thence it was off to the aerodrome to choose manage of our flying dorsum to Singapore, our Asian hub.
Normally, nosotros choose manage of our armed forces "Space A" (space available) flying from Singapore to Japan, but when nosotros called for the flying fourth dimension nosotros were told that the flights were beingness canceled for a week due to a armed forces exercise. That's the run a endangerment you lot induce got amongst Space A, if you lot larn it the flying is free, if you lot don't as well as thence it's Plan B. The girls took wages of some other gorgeous rooftop pool, piece Matt as well as I strategized our adjacent move. How to larn home.
After weighing all of the options, nosotros decided that since nosotros were going to purchase tickets to wing abode commercially, nosotros mightiness every bit good road ourselves through Hong Kong for a few days. The toll was virtually the same, as well as Hong Kong was our adjacent planned trip anyway. Why not?!
So, armed amongst a steal total of muddy beach clothes, nosotros headed dorsum to the Singapore Changi Airport...
Destination: Hong Kong!
