Well here we are hardly arrived and now about to go. Had a busy 3 days and now ready to pack and fly.
Thursday we went of a tour out of town to Bang Pa-in, the out of town resident of the royal family when Bangkpok gets too unpleasant. 
A curious mix of architectual style, some French, some Chinese some Thai. 
Next on to Ayutthaya one of the old capitals. On the UNESCO world heritage list and full of fascinating old ruins of Wats and palaces.
Then a leisurely trip down river on a cruiser with lunch. All parts accompanied by a very informative if a bit verbose guide.
Friday we did the tourist thing around Bangkok, seeing the Royal Palace and Wat Pho.Bueatiful architecture with lots of gold and sparkles and mirrors. Seems the place is in constant repair though. Given its size there probable get through one round of refurbishment and then need to start again at the other end.
Unfortunately on way home hit one of Bangkok’s traffic jams. Two hours to travel about 20km. But at least we got to try fried bannana from a vendor wandering up and down the traffic lanes.
Saturday we hit the local shopping complex to do some souvenir hunting before resting and swimming through the afternoon.
Tonights flight could be a killer. Leave at midnight for a 10 hour flight that lands in Vienna about 5:30am. The time zones are a killer. Not sure when I will get on again. Maybe sometime in Vienna, so bye for now.
