Bangkok
August 8th, 2007 by Benji Mast
Our first day in Thailand included a canal boat ride, a visit to the Wat Arun Temple, and, the highlight for most of us, a very crowed ride in a rickshaw. There are many more words I could use to describe our first day, but the swimming pool is waiting so I guess I’ll just post the pictures.
Coming Down
The Airport
The morning after we flew in we caught a taxi to downtown Bangkok from the hotel. Our taxi driver was a very friendly man and recommended a canal boat ride. We decided to try it and were very happy we did.

Wat Arun
For those Lord of the Rings fans out there, these steps reminded me of the endless stair, not in length, but in steepness.

BW or Color?
A group of young men were playing soccer on the temple grounds and I got an urge to ask them if I could play, and even thought they didn’t know English, they made it clear I was welcome. I was surprised that I was able keep up with them. Admittedly the only reason probably was because they were in stitches every time I did something aggressive.
Rickshaw Ride
Hey looks like great fun already!
Blessing to you and your family!
Honey child, that’s a tuk-tuk, not a richshaw.
Color. Hands down.
I loove all the pictures!! I had to grin at your title of the 7th-to-last picture. Took me a few secs to figure it out…
Wow. It looks like a photographer’s paradise. =) Have fun, and keep the pictures coming!
Color most def. That’s sort of the color I’m feeling right now.
The last is most certainly a favorite of mine. So very colorful and I like the motion.
