Bangkok Day 5 - Wat Pho Temple, Chinatown

As the days goes by, I'm more and more reluctant to expose my camera to the world. Plus it's ridiculously sunny on our temple day, why-o-why. So basically, since there's not much to see other than the temples, I kept my camera in my bag (protect it from the merciless sun) thus the lack of photos.

Visiting temple, the best way to go is by the river taxi! Cheap and extremely fast compared to taking cab. Just take the BTS to Saphan Taksin and board the Chao Phraya Express Boat. There's two queue at the central pier, make sure to queue for the one which gives orange ticket! To get to Wat Pho temple, Temple of Reclining Buddha, alight at Tha Tein (N8). It's a 30 mins boat ride.

I think my face and smile looks extremely tired ...... But we slept alot! Lol.

Didn't know this girl is such a temple person. First temple trip for her! She was pretty excited, taking photos here and there, and I'm just like 'mehhhhhh' cause the heat was driving me nuts. Apparently they revised the rules of dress code? We saw a bunch of Caucasians walking round in sleeveless, short shorts and slippers. No respect!!! At least where something to cover yourself please.

After the short trip to temple (gave Grand Temple a miss because of the killer sun), we cabbed down to Chinatown and went for cheap thrills warehouse shopping. I believe it's at street 11 where all the goodies are. We didn't know where to shop, the cab driver wasn't willing to share, but heng us again we managed to stumbled into the right street.

Our day ended by getting caught in a rain (for the first time!) and running crazily towards the BTS. Getting a data plan really saved our asses in finding our way round. Haha.
