Gods Party

Bangkok Bangkok. Ok in my previous post I might have sounded slightly skeptical about this place, but there’s actually more to it than just drink tourists everywhere. There are also Buddhist God’s parties in the King’s Grand Palace!!! Wonderful.

This morning I felt just a little bad about not having gone beyond the Rambuttri Street, a little street packed with Guest Houses, 24h bars, food stalls and tourist T-shirts. So with my new Danish friend – Jacob – we went to the King’s Grand Palace. After having paid the 10$ admission fee we finally made it inside this holy place and crawled our way through the crowds of tourists. I had forgotten how much I can’t stand such crowds.

Anyhow, we followed the 10h30 free English speaking tour guide so we heard some interesting stories, which I will not relate here because it is not appropriate; and also because I didn’t really listen.

And there is more! The crowded streets, busy almost 24h even where there’s no tourists, the food smells (humm padthai), the suffocating heat, your head exploding from the spicy food at every meal time, the Thai language (sounds really crazy), the Buddha all around the city… Bangkok is just Bangkok.
