Hungry! We found some SPICY food just down the street. On a humid hot day, spicy food is not good. We got through it by drinking lots of Fanta and water. Kenady had the spiciest Tom Yum seafood soup. It blew her head off it was so spicy. She was sweating and not from the warm temperature. She made an effort to eat it because she was so hungry.
We hit the sky subway shortly after that on our way to the National Stadium and 6 story MBK Mall. The MBK Mall was cool to walk thru as a tourist, but there was so much going on on every floor it was overwhelming. We left pretty quickly.
Leaving the MBK we found a tuk tuk that transported us to the Grand Palace. A tuk tuk is a motorbike with a carriage on the side or back. It was the best transportation experience ever. There is no such think as lanes in this country, so it was like a video game in real life. It was super crazy in a good way.
The Grand Palace is known for the Leaning Buddha and temples. We got there at dusk so the crowd was gone, the sun was reflecting off the gold & details of the temples and buildings. So that was cool too. So much detail. (see photos on the “how i see it” page). As we got to the Grand Temple that shimmered with gold everywhere. 
We had to remove our shoes and cover our shoulders and legs as a show of respect for the Buddha. A little “monk in training” helped us with clothing to cover up. He was a cute little guy. We tipped him one US dollar. See his photo in my “how i see it” gallery.
Our final stop of the day was the famous Khao San Road where all the packbackers hang out. That road I didn’t like very much because the food smelled awful and every foot along the way, the vendors yelled at you to buy something. Maybe I was just over it because it was a long busy day in Bangkok.
Once we sat down to relax and have drinks, It was interesting to people watch. At last we crammed into on last tuk tuk to get to the subway station and then back to the hotel. 
Seeing the Bangkok skyline in the subway at night was way cooler then during the day.
At the hotel, I passed out in record time.
The best part of the day was going to Grand Palace and meeting the little Monk. If you ever get the chance to go to Bangkok, Thailand I recommend seeing the Grand Palace.
