Arrival in Bangkok (for real this time)

We made it out of the airport and into the City of Angels on Monday.

Here's a look at the Chao Praya River from our balcony. 


We experienced some of Bangkok's oldest and newest modes of transportation today.  We took the MRT from the airport to the center of town and then a taxi (although it wasn't one of the candy pink taxis that Wesley had read about) to get to our hotel.  Then we took the hotel's river taxi to Satorn pier to catch the BTS (Sky train) to meet our friends for dinner (see below).  Wesley still needs his tuk tuk ride.





Dinner at Ta Ling Pling with friends from Esso.  Excellent Thai food including Yam Som-oh ( pomelo salad), one of my favorites!  Wesley did enjoy his food, even though he couldn't stay awake for the entire evening, but to be honest, L.D. and I were having a hard time keeping our eyes open as well.  Thanks to Chan for driving us back to the hotel!


As you can see, Wesley didn't quite make it through the evening, but he did impress everyone with the amount of stirs ha that he put on his omelet!  Our friends also gave us a tasty assortment of Thai snacks to try out while we are here



Plus I finally got my rambuttans!
