Saturday in Bangkok

We attempted to go to Grand Palace today and the Thai's where telling Dean - long pants. He was wearing shorts and they were warning him to wear pants. As girls the dresses we were wearing was fine but for my arms showing but i brought a shall to cover up. We walked the end of the street trying to decide if we go to the mall or buy pants and go to the Wat's. At the end of the corner, a scout hooked us into looking at a boat ride on the river. We walked throught another market to the harbour or boat place. We decided why not, Dean & Rachel never been on the river in Bangkok. It was a nice 1 1/2 trip got to see some amazing houses and mini temples and the old/poor side of bangkok and go to see the Grand palace from the river. Afterwards we took a taxi to MBK. A huge mall. We went straight up to the 7th floor to eat. We decided on a Japanese restaurant and it ever good. The mall was crazy sort of like a mini market indoors, on certain floors. A lot of electronic stalls, t-shirts, etc anything you may want. Wasn't in the shopping mood and only bought a small purchase. We took another Tuk Tuk from MBK back to Khao San Road. I'm glad i'm not driving in Bangkok. The traffic is crazy, bumper to bumper with motorbikes, tuk tuks taxi's and other vehicles. The tuk tuk's and motorbikes weave in and out of traffic and beside other vehicles and anywhere they think they can go and fit through. Only thing with the tuk tuk's is the smell of exhaust and to hang on cause they go really fast. So it's 730pm now and we are relaxing in our rooms at the Sawadsee House. Dean and Rachel are playing on my Nintendo DS playing the brain ages as i'm on internet. Not sure if we can go swimming in the pool as it's dark already. Probably have to eat supper sometime soon. Tommorrow intales going to the Grand Palace and Wat Pho with the proper attire. Swimming and then at 10 pm we get on the train to Chaing Mai. It's an overnight train with 2 beds and i think we have a privite room. We'll get into Chaing Mai at noon the next day.
