Welcome to Bangkok!

Oh goodness, where to begin! Bangkok is a completely overwhelming place. A calamity of sights and sounds and smells. Vibrant, gritty, colourful, intense -- pure sensory overload. On our first day, we inadvertently got on a 20 baht (about 65 cent) 4-hour tuk tuk tour where we had some unscheduled stops at various proprietors and had some awkward situations where we had to decline custom tailoring and two-week package tours of Thailand. But it was fun zipping around town in a tuk tuk! And for only 20 baht, we got to see a lot of the city, and visit a lot of incredibly beautiful wats.
