Madness in Bangkok

11th till 15th February....

Sorry for the late update...still recovering from the madness of Bangkok..hehe..

A short stay, enough for a second viewing and first for my parents.

We scoured the city and loved ...

The Grand Palace tour...despite many touts trying to prevent us from going...why?? who knows?? Exactly what the reviews described...to be aware of them..and don't believe a word..

The Reclining Buddha...the Emerald Buddha......and the Golden Buddhas..

The beautiful Teak Palace of Vimanek Mansions and Jim Thompsons Private residence, famous for developing the silk industry of Thailand.

The endless shopping plazas, food courts and restaurants...

Glad to leave the heat, pollution and unfair taxi drivers of Bangkok, we fly to Chennai, South India...for a touch of ...more heat....pollution...and mad drivers..hehehe..
