Bangkok


Wat Pho


Anthony, Shirley (we met up with her in BKK), Nicole, Me, Jon. I traveled with them in Cambodia and for the weekend in Bangkok... but then they left me and went back to Singapore :(

The Reclining Buddha- its quite huge


Bangkok from the Pinklao Bridge or something


Sunset from Thammasat Uni.

I was here a week but didn't see too much. I did see Wat Pho (and the famous reclining Buddha), the infamous Khao San Road. I also got to go to Newsong Bangkok! The food in Thailand is quite good as well. One of the cool things I did in Bangkok was go on a fieldtrip with my friend's Thai Rural Development class. We went to a temple where they help AIDS patients. It was a very interesting experience. Corps were displayed (including ones of those of children who had died from AIDS). We saw the patients as well, it was quite sad, like they were an exhibit. We also got a special thai-dance performance from some more AIDS patients (a few were transvestites). We also got to go to a near-by city and play around in some ruins. I'll have to ask him for some pictures.
