Yesterday was our last full day in Bangkok. After many days of going and going and going, we actually kind of took it easy and enjoyed the day at a slower pace. Instead of planning out many things to do we just took the day as it came and waited to see where things would take us. In the end, our "wait it out and see what happens" approach offered us tons of great and awesome surprises like boat trips, Formula 1 Tuk Tuk rides, a delicious lunch, and a some great free live music.
 |
| We took a "cruise" up the river. This cruise was actually a massive ferry boat where locals and tourists sat in small plastic chairs and listened to a woman chatter on about who-knows-what for a few hours. |
 |
| On this boat you had the option to sit, stand, or even sit on the railing. Safety first in Thailand. |
 |
| This boat trip provided many opportunities to quote favorite lines from the great movie What About Bob? |
 |
| We exited our cruise into Chinatown where we quickly got lost in very narrow alleys of many, many, many cheap (and in our opinion, unnecessary) goods. Did you need a headband with a giant fake tomato or apple attached to it. Done! |
 |
| What is that? Another version of a hot dog wrapped in a delicious crepe like batter. Yes, please! It is the Thai version of a corn dog. |
 |
| Our Tuk Tuk driver raced us around China town. That is until his tuk tuk broke and he unceremoniously kicked us out of the car with a map in hand. |
 |
| Our day wrapped up with a fantastic surprise. As we were eating dinner at this tiny outdoor restaurant we heard what sounded like someone setting up music. After following the sound we came across this little outdoor beer garden that was packed with people enjoying some great covers of classic Thai songs, a warm evening, and cold beers. We ended up staying for two hours and making friends with the guy who played the symbols. |
