After we left Chiang Rai, my mom and I spent some time in Bangkok.
Our hotel. It was lovely. No, more like brilliant. I'd recommend it.
A view of the city.
The sky train was right across the street, which if you're inclined to use that sort of thing is really convenient. We preferred taxis and personal tours.
Cool lights in the hotel.
Interesting traffic.
Outside the Grand Palace.
Trying to get in.
The line.
If you're ever in Thailand, you'll be able to recognize the temples by their roofs. They all have this design, though often in different colors.
Small scale Angkor Wat. Very cool.
It was a very hot day. I can't begin to tell you.
Um... those are demons. Made of precious gems.
Lotus blossom.
A (possibly illegal) photo of the Emerald Buddha. That is made of jade.
A guard outside the residence.
King Chulalongkorn's palace. He's the famous one.
Another boat ride.
Killer fish. (Interesting fact: people are not allowed to fish in front of the temples, so the fish hang out here and wait for bread from unsuspecting tourists.)
A little choppy.
There are a ton of temples in Thailand. 4,000 in Bangkok, 40,000 in Thailand.
A procession of monks. This went on for miles.
