On our free afternoon we took the kids out to explore Bangkok a little bit. Crystal and I have seen many of the sights but for Kai and Nora the last time they went through these places was in a baby sling. It turned out the day was hot – temps climbed over 100 and the humidity was thick.
Our goal was to visit Wat Pho – the Temple of the Reclining Buddha and maybe the Grand Palace as well. The traffic in Bangkok has not improved and much of the afternoon was spend in a cab traveling just a few miles though being air conditioned it was not that bad a place to spend time. Also, slow ride through Bangkok – including Chinatown was in a way its own tourist attraction. It turned out that the Grand Palace let in the last tour group at 3:30 so we didn’t make it in time for that one but we did reach Wat Pho.
