Bangkok

It was great touring the different historical sites around Bangkok. I enjoyed talking to the locals about their thoughts on political and economic issues within Thailand and also globally.

I learned the difference between the Thai and Chinese Buddha. The Chinese Buddha is larger with a bigger belly. The Thai Buddha is usually leaner and skinny compared to the Chinese one. It also usually has a headpiece of some sort on.

I went on Chao Phraya River tour. From the boat I could see fish and HUGE Monitor lizards. Those lizards looked like mini dinosaurs. Some of them were bigger than me. Note to everyone – stay out of the water as it is dirty and those lizards are big.


Ciao for now.
