Today was our first full day of our holiday and after a great night's sleep we headed off in a tuk tuk (pictured), for the Grand Palace and the Temple of Wat Phra Kaew, home of the Emerald Buddha. You are prohibited from seeing the Buddha in shorts so Sue was given a purple dress from Abigail's party filmed in 1974 to borrow for 200 B.
You can't photo the Emerald Buddha and someone who tried to was taken out the back of the temple and shot, so we behaved ourselves.
This was a real touristy day and afterwards we visited the reclining Buddha at Wat Pho (ph does not make an f here !- why, cos it's in thai!). Then we headed back to the hotel for two hours by and in the pool.
We ventured off again to witness sunset from the Sky bar but after getting up to floor 64 we were refused entry on account of my shorts and Sue's flip flops ! (their loss - the drinks were probably extortionately priced).
Tottenham Hotspurned, we headed for the river and caught a ferry to Chinatown where we indulged in sweet and sour stuff for 510B (£10.50) - we have now (Sue has now) re packed for tomorrow's trek to Siem Reap and we are going to get a relaxing massage from across the road.
