The first few days in Bangkok

Bangkok is beginning to feel familiar. I know my away around (mostly) without a map. It's nice to arrive in a familiar place after such a long trip - 28 hours of flights and lay-overs. It's also very nice that my friend Aor drove an hour from her city to visit me the day after my arrival. She's been my pen-pal since about 1990, and knows everything there is to know about Thailand...




Since, as usual, I travel with no plan or itinerary, I took the first few days to plan, and to explore around Bangkok with Aor. The pictures here were taken at the Ancient City, an outdoor museum that has reconstructions of many historic sites from around Thailand.
