Day 40 - Bangkok

Heat and humidity. I'm constantly melting and sweating. A thin film of moisture covers me every waking moment. A/C in the dorm is a godsend. It's the rainy season here too, but the closeness ('tis fierce close!) doesn't break when the clouds burst. Everything just gets saturated and slightly flooded. Bought a small pink umbrella - all I could get. Lots of lightning, only some thunder.

Ate with S&N at a night market place last night, but with normal food - papaya salad, chicken, noodles, etc. You sit at one stand, but order from any. Good food.

Spent today seeing the sights - Wat Arun, Wat Pho, Wat Phra Kaew (the Grand Palace). Huge reclining Buddha at Wat Pho. Lots of Buddhas elsewhere. Bit Buddha-ed out now.
