Today we all met at 9 AM to visit some places here in Bangkok. I dropped my laundry off, 55 baht per kilo. We took the Sky Train to the River Taxi, 30 baht and 13 baht respectively. We met Kwang there. She is a (tiny) student at Silpakorn University here in the city.
We went first to Wat Pho, where the (largest?) Reclining Buddha is. There was a lot of neat art stuff there. Quite hot. Spent about an hour and a half before we went to the Grand Palace where the Emerald Buddha is. That was much more of a praying place than a photo op. No shoes. Pants. Lots of shiny gold and an awesomely long mural.
Then we ate at S&P. Not bad but somehow I never got my watermelon slushy. Salted pork and fried rice. The papaya salad/coleslaw was very spicy.
For our last dinner in Bangkok, we went to the food center at MBK. I tried Sukiyaki soup with vegetables. It was very cabbagey and bland, and I didn’t know what to add to it. I really wanted coconut blended with ice, but they were out.
We saw Terminator 4 at MBK. There are so strange commercials before the movie. Me, Bennett, Zach, and Robert went to see it. It was very action-packed. I was surprised to see Anton Yelchin in it because he was also in Star Trek.
