bangkok

I've spent the last few days with the family in Bangkok. It's is a huge, quite exhausting, rather frustrating, very hot, and yet thoroughly fascinating place. The pictures below are from the touristy side of Bangkok. A canal tour along the Chao Praya River, a trip to the Jim Thompson house, a visit to the grand Palace and Wat Po and some good food along the way. Next time I'll try to capture the craziness of the city a bit more, but here are the pics for now. Now Liz and I are off to the Philippines, while the rest of the family heads back to the cold. We'll be heading towards some hopefully not-too-active volcanoes and will try to get some r&r at the beach.
