How we have not visited Bangkok. Finally
Wake fanfare, in the case of say, 5 hours: and yes, our neighbors to stand up and insist that all the hotel know. Small
nice touch in the morning, we read the newspaper by taking the lil bf, and one of the headlines we really want to give back: a plane just crashed in India, it has all the details, it looks too much like climbing into a flying machin. You may say that we are not obliged to read all the articles which undermine the morale for nothing ...
It goes to a TAT (as you do not know certainly, is a kind of tourist office but rarely emerges with more info than entering). For once the type looked almost competent although little concerned, he was busy watching videos on youtube and it's true we are too wicked to have bothered to ask him questions. Basically, you can not move. The Skytrain (kind of RER) are closed because the cops can not control them, and every corner where we wanted to visit is "closed" (finally say that there are plenty of soldiers, and it seems they not fine by the locals, which is why they believe the number of deaths since the beginning of the "crisis"). We can anyway not access, public transit does not serve the area.
Plan B: Grand Palace and Temple, certainly not what we have done first, but given the circumstances ... We first went to lose a little in Chinatown, as always, the compass has a small problem, it confuses north and south. The visit was really not great, we took a free guide and we had a lot of fun, she spoke English like us Thai is saying ... It was released during the visit, his voice gave us a headache not possible. In fact, the temple (Wat Phra Kaew) was great, very well preserved, and finally we saw the workman digging ... Ile remade all the frescoes in hand, the details are very thin and the gigantic fresco, it makes the job! Cons by visiting the "museum" that went with it was made in five minutes flat: it's a big dump, in fact, a toothbrush is exposed and gloves orange plastic, to show us the tools used in the renovation. Exciting. The photos were banned, but the "guardians" of each room fast asleep (see slide for evidence!), And four of them gathered in a corner, sprawled on the floor and laughing, it was not very " museum "like atmosphere ...
Then we did a little experiment: we paid 70 baht a tuktuk to go, and here we sought one for an even shorter trip, the real price should be 50 baht. Most asked us to announce a price first, and none wanted to stop his nap for that price, and if not the worst announced scam was still 200 baht! In the end we took the bus, it amounts to 6 each.
Back in our room super, we begin preparations for departure, we also start a little too wet for the "changed" to accompany one of our last Thai curries. Snif: (
