This morning we decided to revert to our usual plan and explore under our own steam. We set out walk to Victory Monument and caught the Sky-train to near the river. We got on an express boat which cost an amazing 14 Bhat to Tian quay which is just a little way to Wat Pho.

This is the best river stop as it deposits you at the Wat with the Reclining Buddha. Although we had visited this the last time we were in Bangkok, I had forgotten how amazing it is. This 150 Ft long statue just has to be seen to be believed, I’m sure last time I said my photo did not do it justice and it is still true. I declared that this must be the most truly awesome thing that I have ever seen.

This is a fairly unassuming town with a couple of hotels, one of which we checked into. A walk around town at school kicking out time was fun as there were...
