Arriving in Bangkok

We arrived after traveling about 915km from Phuket. Coming in on the 5 lane, each way, freeway was a little stressfull but we coped fine. The first thing we noticed was the smog over the city.
We crossed the big Chao Phraya River on the King Rama 8th suspension bridge. Quite impressive.
 Booked into the little guest house 'Wanmanusarn', had a huge room with little balcony. The owner Ann was very helpful and showed us to the Ferry. It arrives every 20 min and goes up and down the river. One ticket for 15 baht takes you anywhere. There are other boats coming so we were advised to take the one flying the Orange flag.

    1. Shopping was good, you would have a ball. It was a short visit so did not have time to explore much...need you here for that. Harold bought T shirts for R25.00.
