Grand Palace Bangkok


Thai tacos


















The local taxi service called a tuk tuk.



























Here's a shot of me in the foreground. I had to wear a borrowed sarong to wrap around my bare legs in order to enter the Palace. Bart had to wear a borrowed long pair of pants, that was hard for him.
















































We arrived at the Grand Palace just in time to see the parade of Thai soldier's marching into the Palace.

LAX to Bangkok with a lay over in Hong Kong


15 hours to Hong Kong is easy to take in our Cathay Pacific First Class Seats. Bart gets settled in.














Linda and Bart are feeling really excited.

Linda is settled in for the long haul. This seat becomes a bed. I slept for 7 hours, had 3 meals and watched 3 movies. What a luxury.
