Sa wad dee ! (Hello) This is a picture of Jeab giving us a Thai lesson.
What a wonderful visit we had in Bangkok, truly because of Jeab. Jeab was kind enough to take two days off work and tour Bangkok with us. (Thank you Jeab!) We went everywhere by river - Jonathan hailed us a river taxi, we rented a long tail boat and cruised around the canals, the Marriott transported us back and forth across the Chao Phraya river to our destinations. Once we strayed away from the river to go to the market to shop. . . . .
The Grand Palace - so much story and beauty and the Emerald Buddha and the giants and angels and the monkeys and gold and shimmering color. We took hundreds of pictures.
Tommy and Michael came to the Marriott for breakfast the first morning. We ate Mangosteen and Dragon Fruit and these small little fruits that look like grapes with skin and a big seed in the middle.
The Reclining Buddha - so immense they built a Wat (temple) around it. Everywhere the Thais are fixing their Wats with Thai Tile. We saw saffron robed monks and sat in on a service. Jeab explained what the message was: "Stay in the middle of life, Do not act when excited and stay away from evil."
We climbed to the Top of Wat Arun, the temple of Dawn, and went to the Wat Ra Kang, the temple of the Bells.
