Wat-a-lotta Temples

Bangkok has a lot of many things. A lot of people, a lot of traffic and a lot of spirit, but more than anything it has a lot of temples. We started at Wat Po, with the massive reclining Buddha and moved on to Wat Arun, with great colour and design and the added bonus of a great view of the city. The Grand Palace came next and besides the Emerald Buddha it is really an awesome spot for a walk with a lot to see.

We both rate the city pretty highly, which is surprising considering we don't really like cities. If you're able to ignore the masses of people trying to rip you off you will discover a place that has a lot to offer. We used the river ferry to get around and started enjoying the banter with the tuk-tuk drivers. The food is amazing and on the whole the people are all friendly and full of life with an overwhelming love for their king. If a shop-owner and his mate can sit on a street corner having a chat and beer at 7:30 on a Monday morning, it can't be all bad.
