Having had a lovely long sleep last night, the team all seem a bit more with it today and able to cope with the heat a bit better. Today we have spent the day in Bangkok. We started off at the Grand Palace with a guide named Tip and having looked around there, and learnt about all the gold stuff the Thai's have borrowed from around the world, we went on a boat to eat at the best restaurant in Bangkok. It was not a usual touristy place and the food was great (nice one Martin and Hannah for knowing about that one!). We then went to see the reclining Budda, the biggest Budda in the world (I think) and it is pretty massive and reclining (not suprising). Hannah tells me that it is supposed to be Budda about to die and having reached Nirvana, well he looked quite pleased with himself, so that's nice.
The girls decided that we would quite like to have a Thai massage, so that's what we did in a very reputible place in the grounds of the reclining Budda temple. The boys were not quite so interested and went off to do something manly. I've never had a Thai massage before, it was nice, a bit firm, and a bit concerning when a very strong little lady is pulling at your neck and back, but I think I would have another one. Now we have all regrouped before we go off to find some evening food.
Today has been a good day. I have tried loads of new fruits (right now it's a dragon fruit), and we have experienced loads of what I feel is Thai stuff. All good. Ready to move on to Chon Buri tomorrow.
