Two days ago I left Tokyo Haneda for a 7 hour flight to Bangkok via Singapore. Just made the Singapore connection and another 2 hour flight and making my way to the hotel in Bangkok on the Bangkok Airport express - all in a 14 hour day!
Bangkok is all about shopping malls and their Wats - impressive Buddhist temples. I visited 3 temples in one day taking the Metro, tuktuk's and BTS trains...Wat Saket (The Golden Mount), Wat Su That, a very peaceful, quiet place away from the crowds, and then took the boat across the Chao Phraya river to Wat Arun, the Temple of Dawn. Nearly all temples are under some repair or renovation so scaffolding everywhere. It is quite warm and humid +32C, far warmer than I like.
