We spend our last few days in Bangkok – and Southeast Asia for that matter – visiting our favourite spots, which are mainly food stalls, and doing some last-minute errands, such as buying new jeans so we’ll blend in when we get to London.
But we also take in a few extra sights…
We go for a stroll past the King of Thailand’s palace on our way to check out the largest weekend market in Bangkok. The market is massive and is completely overwhelming – Eric barely lasts 45 minutes before he’s ready to go.
On Sunday we go see “Alice and Wonderland” in 3D. The experience was nice but the movie was just okay – is anyone actually impressed by this so-called “new 3D technology”?
On Monday we go for a nice walk through Bangkok’s flower district, which is probably one of the best-smelling streets in all of SE Asia.
And of course, we do all of this while trying to avoid the red shirt protests, which is easier said than done – no matter what we do, 9 times out of 10 we seem to end up smack dab in the middle of it. Fortunately, at this point the protests have more of a street festival / block party feel instead of a Toronto City Union Worker’s strike feel.
Luckily for us, we manage to get out while the getting’ was good… see blog entry “The Bangkok Express".
