Tuesday 24th November: We made our way to the River Taxi. Is it terible that I can't remember the name of the river? Hmm. Google it. So the river taxi is a pretty good idea; no traffic and very very cheap. I like. We got off at the Wat Pho stop, checking out the tourist attractions. We visited the reclining Buddha; absolutely massive monument. All indoors, so you have to remove your shoes and women have to cover up a bit. I like how respectful the Thai people are; both respectful but also welcoming at the same time. A lot to look at here, which I like; you can just roam the city and come across temples and markets, without having to map out a specific itinerary for the day. And you will always find food stalls if you get a bit peckish; street food is great and again so cheap. I always get my daily dose of watermelon out here. Ha.
So after an injection of culture, Izzy and I made our way back to Kao San Road to get those souvenirs. Such a tourist trap. Not the best place to go if you want to lap up the Thai culture, but a pretty cool atmosphere nonetheless. Does bring out the shopper in me though; is that why my backpack is feeling rather heavy at the moment? We spent the evening at Suk11 relaxing and chatting to people in the hostel; such a nice place to stay and really good room rates. I sound like a bit of a marketing campaign don't I? Ha. Just visit Thailand.
