Next are the sites! The architecture is amazing. Honestly, I have never seen buildings that can even match (yet) the ones in Thailand. They shine brightly in the sunlight and have all sorts of intricate designs and artwork. It was all very eyecatching.

When in Bangkok, the must sees are Wat Pho, and the Royal Palace (see the previous part 1. The first and last images are the royal palace, the second photo is wat pho). Just don’t misjudge the actual size of the Royal Palace, the grounds are HUGE. It took about half the day to explore. There is also the giant reclining Buddha (no photos because it was sooo dark…)!

While paroosing the streets, there was this super friendly bike rental guy (who coincidentally had no more bikes to rent) that was very adamant about visiting the “Lucky Buddha” as well the Chinese Market. I didn’t get the chance to swing by either, but I am sure they are great places to visit.

Getting around can be pretty easy. The bus network is quite extensive but traffic is always pretty tight and the pollution is pretty bad, so take care! Usually on the buses they have a lady with a box who will collect your fare. Bicycles aren’t a bad idea, if you can actually find one before they are all gone, just be careful because the roads and side walks are always super packed. Of course, I can’t forget the ever-popular three wheeled terror truck. “Tuk-Tuk?” No I don’t want to ride your “Tuk-Tuk.” Tuk-Tuks are EVERYWHERE. These guys are like your super taxi drivers of Thailand. Think of the movie Taxi, and these guys are the spitting image of the crazy Marseillan driver.  Usually they have seats in the truck bay, but there is the occassional seatless joyride. Most tourists take them, but I enjoyed the walking. I’d say, at least ride once for the experience.
