Day 1 - To Bangkok

Was assigned the window seat on the emergency exit row, no less!

The extra leg space was definitely welcomed.

Day 3 - At Jatujak

It's been raining everyday so far.

Day 5 - River Cruise

A group of boys playfully jumping into the Chao Phraya river from the Wat Kanlayanimit Pier. I captured this while on an hour-long cruise on a long-tail boat.

Day 7 - Shopping in Bangkok

Finally left my camera at the hotel to go on a shopping spree. By the time I returned to the hotel, I was rather tired; hence my picture for the day is the rather ordinary-looking hotel lobby. I like the arm-chairs though.

Day 8 - Goodbye Bangkok

This is a sculpture of "Churning the Milk Ocean" found at the departure hall of Suvarnabhumi Airport.

It tells the tale of the good and evil deities churning the ocean in an attempt to obtain amrita, which will grant them immorality.

Temple officials and volunteers distributing vegetarian food to the devotees of the Buddhist Association, who were at the SAFYC for a 放生 session.
