April 16: Bangkok and Transportation

Hello~

We find that our Internet access in Bangkok is really bad. What saved us? McDonalds' Wifi!!!

We arrived in Bangkok from Chiang Mai safely and checked back into the Rikka Inn. We met Aun (our tour guide) and Jay (tour coordinator) for a short lunch and then rode on tuk tuks to Wat Phone Temple.

There was a really big Buddha statue lying in the temple. We took a  boat taxi to one of the "MBK" malls in Bangkok and shopped for a few hours. We met some deaf Thai people at the food court. We took a subway from there and then hopped on a bus to our hotel.

We used so many different forms of transportation today: The Taxi truck from our hotel in Chaing Mai to the airport, the plane to fly to Bangkok, the airport express train, then a taxi car to the hotel, then a tuk tuk, then a boat taxi and then we road a train again and finally a bus.

How many different forms of transportation did we use today?
Taxi Truck
Airplane
Train
Taxi Car
Tuk Tuk
Boat Taxi
Bus

Are you all impressed with us? :)  Seven different modes of transportation in one day! We impressed ourselves! Don't forget, we did a lot of walking too. We are always on the move.

Enjoy our pictures.
