It's Bangkok Again

Have met up with my friends in Bangkok for just a few days before we head up North to Chiang Mai and beyond for our driving trip (I am not driving and am grateful that Chuck is up to the challenge).  Bangkok never ceases to amaze me and it's a lot of fun for a few days. In the time we have been here, we have eaten some delicious street food, dropped in to see and listen to Thai Elvis at the Asia Hotel, had a really good Italian dinner, went to MBK (a super large shopping center with literally EVERYTHING) and took the Skytrain and taxi to the Lat Mayom floating market where we took an hour and a half boat ride in the klongs (canals), stopped at a wat (temple) and then at an orchid farm before returning to the floating market for some yummy pad thai which was made on a boat and cost about $1.50.  We have had pedicures and massages and are definitely acclimated.  Yay Bangkok!  Some photos below.  I'll explain if I can.
