stuck in Bangkok....Sometimes tourists get "stuck" in Bangkok. Yes, it can be smelly, and dirty, but I live here and I enjoy it. There are a lot of fun things to do while you're here so why not make the best of it.

1. Wat Pho
|
|
| The home of the original Thai massage school and a magnificent reclining Buddha |
|
|
|
2. The Grand Palace
|
|
| A National Treasure. Do not listen to people outside go into the palace gates and buy your ticket at the official counter. Yes, it's almost always open in the morning hours. |

3. Suan Lum - The Lumpini Night Bazaar
|
|
| For souvenir shopping 7 nights a week it beats Silom's street market hands down. There is less air pollution, a number of restaurants and a terrific beer garden with Thai food stalls. It's inexpensive and fun. MRT: Lumpini |

| If you can get here for the vegetarian festival in October or Chinese New Year it's a blast. This is a great place to by fabric if you are planning to have clothes made. |

8. Go Shopping or See a Movie
