Hi there. Am in the executive lounge of the Bangkok Airport/Thai Airlines waiting for flight to Mumbai.

Exhausted. Went on grueling day tour of the city. Both Uncle Rick and I were sweaty and sticky from the humidty. Bangkok reminds me of Mexico in ways with the street shops and tons of stray cats and dogs.

The city is fairly new and seems to be built as one large tourist trap. We were chauffered to one Buddahist temple after another and paid a fee to get in. They were all pretty much the same. Wanted to see the Grand Palace but apparently the King is entertaining the King of Singapore this week so it is closed to the public.

BK was very smoky and dirty. But still very interesting and unique. We took a boat in the channel which was a neat experience. Got some really neat pictures too. Will try to upload when get to Mumbai hotel.

However, may not get online for a few days due to the very hectic upcoming schedule.

Bye for now!
