4, 3, 2, 1... Bangkok!!!

4 shirts
3 ties
2 suits
1 coat

I am sooo susceptible to the up sale it isn't even funny. Especially when the above are all silk lined cashmere wool custom tailored suits for under the price one suit at home. Oh, and the shirts are also custom tailored. Now being a software dev, I don't have much in the way for use of such fine apparel (and no, I am not interviewing anywhere), so I am going to have to artificially manufacture some. Send me your suggestions.

Bangkok was the first stop on our tour that we had any hesitation about how easy it was going to be. Hong Kong and Singapore we new were going to be pretty simple because so many people spoke English. Bangkok, as it truns out, is not quite as easy, but we should not have worried.

Anyways, it turned out to be a special Buddhist holiday today and on top of that, the government decided to help out the tourists a bit. While many wats that were normally closed opened their doors for this one day, the government subsidized the tuk tuks (little three wheeled taxis) so that you could hire one out for 20 Baht (~60 cents) for the day. Though we feel like we have smoked 2 pack of cigarettes today, it was a good day.

Tomorrow we will be hitting the floating market, some more wats and hopefully a Thai boxing match. Should be another awesome day.
