This past weekend we went to Bangkok, Thailand for the weekend. We went to meet some friends of ours (Lydia & Alyson) who were on a Smartours /Friendly Planet tour of China and Thailand. They were at the end of their 2-week trip.
We met Lydia and Alyson in New Zealand in May - they were tour mates on the Friendly Planet tour we went on. They both live in Las Vegas, and the last time we saw them was in Tahiti when we said goodbye. And now we met them again in Thailand. It's a small world!
The tour guide, who's name is Boeing, let Darin and I tag along for two days in the bus along with the other Friendly Planet tour-goers. We saw a lot of temples and palaces. The most famous ones we went to were The Temple of the Reclining Buddha & Wat Po as well as the Grand Palace. It was a lot of fun.
I was surprised by how cheap everything was in Bangkok. A meal in a nice restaurant would cost around $4-6! It was very different from Singapore. We saw many stray animals (mostly cats and dogs) everywhere, and there is a lot of poverty too - more than in Singapore.
