Farangs, Day 4 — First tuk-tuk ride

Bangkok, Thailand

Itinerary: Tonight we will meet up with our ElderTreks guide and other travelers.

Wandered around the city some more. Went inside the Vimanmek Palace, which is the world’s largest golden teakwood mansion. There were many very loud voiced tour guides with their large groups.

When we got to the Ananta Samakhom Throne Hall, Trish and Eve were required to purchase a sarong to wrap around and cover up our trousers. Apparently pants in the marble palace on females are not O.K., but skirts (and some of the skirts showed a lot of leg), are fine!! Fascinating exhibits and art–it’s a place one could visit many times.

We took a short tuk-tuk ride across the Dusit Gardens to the Wat Benchamabophit (วัดเบ 597;จมบพิ ตร, also known as the Marble Temple).

Took a river bus back to our hotel and met up with the ElderTreks group for orientation and dinner.

I enjoy travel and am either planning a trip or on one, spend way too much time on family history research, edit photos and have several photo books in progress, and then wonder why I don't spend as much time working on this website as I'd like........and I read--I love to read.
