Day 2 in Bangkok

We repeated our morning trip into town on Friday, this time heading for the Royal Palace, not far from the museum. Once again we took a free tour, this time with a very good Thai girl. We were glad of our overview of Buddhist stories and statues at the museum and enjoyed our morning very much. We then wandered across to the river and caught an express boat down to Sathorn/Central where we took the air-conditioned Skytrain back to Sukhumvit. Looking for lunch, we chose an air-conditioned Indian restaurant and enjoyed a curry and beer before once again heading back to the hotel for a swim and rest.
The tour group arrived from Perth around 7 pm and we had a very poor tasteless meal in the hotel. Good Thai food was not part of this tour, although we became practised at finding condiments to enhance things.
