Bangkok around town
Riding around Bangkok in the "tuk-tuk" (named after the sound it makes), walking and taking cabs. Traffic is awful in Bangkok. So many interesting things to discover in the street markets. The last in this slideshow is a video of a street vendor and our waitress dancing in the streets of Bangkok at night.

Bangkok Palace
This is where the royal family sometimes lives. The day we visited, it rained quite heavily, so we were under shelter for much of our time there. Entering the palace requires all arms and legs to be covered; we had to buy long pants and shirts to enter. Never point your feet at images of Buddah (sit on your knees with feet pointed back).

Mui Thai
Traditional Thai boxing. All non-Thais sit in the specially designated "Foreigners" section. Talk about segregation! Last frame of this slideshow is a short video of the arena.
