Giant Buddha, Monksteddfod and Giant Lizards!

We didnt see the Thai Johnny Depp on the Khao San Road, but we did see a man with glasses with eyes on wearing a pirate hat and repeatedly squeezing a rubber chicken!

Yesterday we met up with Big Ginger Mark and went to a park in central Bangkok and did group Aerobics there. We saw massive lizard things and went to an Irish Bar and a nice bar called Cheap Charlie's. Then we got back and drank beer until 2.

 

 

Today we did the touristy thing with a Dutch lady we met in our hostel and went to the grand palace and saw many bling buildings and a MASSIVE golden Buddha. As the photos show, we drummed up publicity for Wonderbrass on the steps outside the palace! Today was VERY hot and we walked a lot and I (Jenny) bought a pretty dress and a silly hat! Matt got a silly hat too.

The plan for tomorrow is to head north to Chang Mai, which is supposed to be cooler and a lot more chilled out than Bangkok, which is very hot and busy. It hasn't rained yet, but there was a lot of lightning last night! Hopefully there will be rafting and elephnat trekking etc in Chang Mai :)
