Bangkok Thailand



After our adventures in Chiang Mai we flew to Bangkok and then caught a ride to Pattaya beach, just a couple hours away. We enjoyed the beach but definitely enjoyed our infinity pool and kiddie pool at the Holiday Inn.  Finn loves the water and followed the big kids down the water slide. Brave boy.




Our adventures in Bangkok, Thailand

















  


We loved shopping along the vibrant and loud Khaosan Road.

Riding in a tuk tuk.

 We were so happy to be able to spend a day with our sweet friend, Mai. She was an exchange student with a family from our church about two years ago and we kept our promise that we'd visit her in Thailand!  She showed us around her hometown of Bangkok, explained a lot of the history and architecture, and made sure we got the best prices for taxis!




The details and architecture of the Wat Pho temple are amazing! IT was interesting to learn about the Thai, Chinese, Indian and European influences throughout.  The paintings continue around the entire temple and tell an Indian story that Thai children read in school but is so long they never finish.

The Golden Buddha
138 ft long and 45ft high!

Climbed to the top of the Golden Mount Temple where we enjoyed a view of Bangkok.
