First “view” of Bangkok. Look out from floor 8 on the balcony thing of Got's apartment building.
Me and the city!
Chocolate pals..
Got's front door... well, only door. :P
Reading his comics. :P
Starschmucks!
Yumm!
Hey, look! Another across the street! With a giant cyber mouse in front!
Woo, cyber mice! -p.s. - this thing had a bunny tail.
We got lost looking for Japan town, but atleast we found the Residence of the Ambassador of Argentina. :P
We found Japan Town! [AKA J Avenue]
It's a square thing.
Yup, a square thing.
I found an Oishi restaurant!
Waiting for the Skytrain, or the BTS.
Thar she blows.
In the BTS... I think that guy is wondering why I'm taking pictures of him...
Self explanitory.
Don't let the sign fool you. This place is huge. It's an 8-floor mall with a huge Ocean World-type thing in the basement. Craziness.
Skytrain again.
That cool pyramid building is where Got's apartment is, on the 3rd floor. I took this picture from the Skytrain to show you how close we were.
Woo! Top floor of the Siam Center, though there's a few more floors below the floor you currently see, including that Ocean World thing I mentioned before.
Haha, I poked it.
Ranging from big to amazingly compact [seen now], 7's are everywhere, even in Skytram stations.
Seen from a distance... currently in Siam Square.
The front.
Another view of the front.
The Thai version...
...of this!
You saw the sign.
The Guitar bar. Pretty cool.
Viewed from the second floor.
Got.
Our 5x5“ dessert. Or was it 8x8”? It was huge.
Yeah, huge and YUMMY. By the way - it's Apple Cobbler. ;)
Got takes a bite!
Me sippin' some Schwepp's Ginger Ale, ready to take a bite myself. Notice the size of the thing on the plate!
Woo!
Going into the gift shop!
You have to take this one to get to JJ Market, where they have TONS of ... stuff for sale. :)
It's a real tuk tuk!!!
Weee!
My first tuk tuk ride! =]
Waiting for the boat.
Chan rak nuhluoang le' mueng thai!
Woo, Thai-style motor boats.
Is a barge.
Is a speedy boat.
Some buildings across the river [but still part of Bangkok!... I think].
An interesting Chinese temple across the river.
Going down the canal.
Neat building.
Church.
Neat building number bajillion.
An old temple.
Check out that tiny boat pulling this set of barges...! [There were another 2 behind this one.]
Another wat [wat = temple] viewable from the canal.
Wat Phra Kow!
This is the wat that the farang have to pay to see [I would have gotten in for free had I worn my scool uniform].
Woo, me and the outside of the wat.
Some soldiers.
That weird red thing is the guy's tongue [follow the narrowing parts to the tongue's owner].
This is a tiny tiny tiny tiny portion of the entire temple. Check out that detail!
[whistles] Whoah, the time it would have taken... Pretty, no?
That thing in the back is the Emerald Buddha!
Woo, Emerald Buddha!
Exiting the temple.
I have no idea why this was inside the temple.
Taken from the tuk tuk.
The Big Swing, or in Thai: Sao Shing Shaa.
Got off the boat, saw this.
and saw this, too.
Went to visit the church!
It was pretty inside.
Me checking up on meh prayers.
Blurry version.
Got and his mommeh'.
The movie theater. How cool?!
Haha, awesome...
Vampire lady thing on the way to the bathroom. She made me laugh.
Got's parents in the boat.
Going down the first canal to the water market.
I mean, the floating market.
First shop.
Okay, scratch off “market” from “Floating Market.” It was actually a small city with canals for roads.
Hmmm, are we going to buy somethin'?
Me and a kitty!
He made some “Thai Noodles” for us in a boat. We ate in our boat.
Yummmmm. Arroy!
That's the Floating City's wat.
Feeding the fishies outside the wat.
Heading back.
Note: these are houses we're passing. Not shops.
Monkies!!!
Ling ling!
I give food to monkey.
It eats the food.
More monkies came to join us.
They be everywhere!
Got feeding the monkies.
Me feeding zem.
Hehe.
Here's another!
View from where we ate, just a few meters away from monkey area.
Got's dad looking out at the water.
Going back to Bangkok.
A tuk tuk and a pink taxi... all that's missing is a couple mopeds.
On the bridge.
I wrote my Thai name, and this guy copied it exactly into the leather bracelet [looks like I made the bracelet]!
Reflection into the glass doors that slide open when the subway arrives.
PIZZA HUT!
I kid you not, real pan pizza from real Pizza Hut. Woot!
Woo, aliens!
Yay.
I pose with another alien... or is it a droid this time?
Getting ready to play Ping Pong against half-Thai half-Chinese friend Got. [I lost, of course.]
View during daytime from floor 8 balcony [same floor as ping pong and swimming pool].
On the swing on floor 8.
One of the many giant window-less windows... or should I say, holes in the wall?
Donig something crazy.
Why yes, Captain Obvious, it *is* a switch! Thank you!
Cool Chinese wat on a building.
At A&W!!!
:D Yummeh.
That tall tower would be the tallest tower in Bangkok, about 80 floors high.
Want to count the windows?
More buildings on the way to the airport.
Lots of rice paddies in Bangkok!
More views of [countryside] Bangkok!
Woooooo.
Travel buddy [Cat] takes a look at the now-disappearing Krungtep [that's “Bangkok” in Thai].
No more Bangkok.
