Tuk Tuk around the polluted Bangkok streets...

With nothing better to do today because streets are closed until 2pm for more cremation rehearsal of the late Princess Vadhana, I hired a Tuk Tuk to get a city street tour around Bangkok (and go to Wat Pho for a view of the Reclining Buddha).

I was not all that thrilled about this Tuk Tuk ride...I was literally inhaling carbon monoxide from all the cars everywhere. I felt kinda sick after a few minutes...

The Reclining Buddha in Wat Pho...she is HUGE!!!!

At one of the stops at one of the older temples in Bangkok, a local talked to me about how happy he was that Obama won along with the history of the local temples. Little that he knew that I was not paying attention to him at all (as a matter of fact, I was waiting for him to shutup), because I was being attacked by mosquitos. I am allergic to mosquitos... 'nuff said.

However, a local friend did take me to eat (finally) at a really nice Thai Restaurant called Taling Pling.
