One of the reasons that we love Bangkok so much is that there seems to be a never-ending supply of really fun activities. Beyond the big tourist sights, the city offers so many opportunities to explore, relax, and enjoy. Yesterday we were able to blend hitting up some major tourist attractions with doing some things off the average tourist radar. The majority of our day was spent checking out the merchandise at the crazy weekend markets, eating delicious Thai street food (oh, that woman is selling hotdogs wrapped in rice paper and then deep fried with a side of sweet and spicy chili dipping sauce -- We'll take 2), sweating and then stopping said sweat with a nice chilled beverage, and just enjoying all of the hustle and bustle that is BKK.
After all that excitement and hubub, we spent some time in a beautiful, quiet park hanging with the locals and their swords (no - really, it was sword dancing practice hour). Then, we hopped on some motorbike taxis and hit up a restaurant that has some of the biggest cocktails in town. During these more quiet times, we realized that the reputation Bangkok has of being a big, dirty city is quite inaccurate. Rather, just like anywhere else in the world, it is a city with some really great qualities and some areas for improvement. We just choose to focus on the positive!

| Thai iced tea for some reason is even better in Thailand. |
 |
| The papaya salads are crazy spicy. Supposedly they are spicy so you sweat more and your body cools off. |
 |
| Chicken on a stick! |
 |
| We went to dinner at one of our favorite places to eat in Bangkok. We would be lying if we didn't say that we also went here because of the absurdly big cocktails. |
 |
| When you partake in the "buy two get one free" promotion they bring all the beers out at once. This was a exciting and daunting task laid out in front of us but don't worry we made it through all of the beer. |
