Thailand: Bangkok Part 1
Here we are in Bangkok, the first stop of our South-East Asia travels. For the next 8 weeks we will explore Thailand, Laos, Cambodia and Vietnam. Bangkok was originally developed as a river city so most of its famed sites (e.g. the Grand Palace where the King lives and a number of interesting Buddhist temples) can be easily explored zipping around the vast public ferry system. Life along the river is probably the most “relaxed” side of Bangkok and it’s the speed we like. So we choose a hotel located directly at the Chao Phraya River to kick back a bit and for convenient river ferry access over our three day visit. We plan to return to Bangkok again at the tail end of our journey to catch our return flight so we save some of the other sites for Bangkok Part 2. We really enjoyed the incredible temples and the colourful boats of the river but we confess that we really love our hotel pool just as much.
