One Night in Bangkok

Hey All,
Just starting my travel journal on line, had a day and a half of flying. Raleigh to Charlotte, Charlotte to Los Angelos, and then LAX - 16 hours to Bangkok. Longest flight for me ever! Seems as though I slept alot and fit in 2 1/2 features/movies.
I felt somewhat fatigued today, but really just amazed at how swollen my ankles look.
It was actually a bit hotter in Charlotte before I left, but it is super humid here as well. I have changed outfits 3 times and taken 2 showers :)

So I crammed in a bunch of temples and palaces today. I will include photos tomorrow of the Grand Palace, (a really ornate royal residence) The Emerald Buddha, and the 3 story reclining Buddha.

I am only spending "One night in Bagkok" until I join up with my friend Mike.

I am off to the beautiful islands of Ko Sumai and either Ko panang or Ko Toa tomorrow. I will be doing some snorkeling or scuba diving tomorrow.
For blessings I am thankful for the safe flight, the sweet Thai people and opportunity to take this trip.
That's all for now.
Namaste,
Shannon
