Rat in a maze

We're in Bangkok and what a crazy city.  They say you should do puzzles to keep you brain active.  Same principles apply to reading and following a map in Bangkok. Thank goodness we remembered to bring a compass this trip.  Oddly enough, the street order is starting to make some sense but nothing is in a straight line, names change and there are little roads all over the place.  All that under stifling heat.  March is not the time to be in Bangkok.

Too tired to actually write about the sights so far because I think I've seen enough Buddha's to last a lifetime.  However, this Buddha was still quite impressive.



Soles of Buddha's feet - wish my soles were that pretty

Wat Pho - home of the very large Buddha

I'm tired, hot and ready for home.  The city (or the heat in the city) is draining - maybe because we are trying to see to much.  Tomorrow we hitting the Chinatown market - because that won't be overwhelming at all.  And then off to Lumphini Park.  It is kite flying season and I think green space and a sky full of kites is just the answer to travellers' fatigue.  And perhaps a 2 hr Thai massage.
