Laos July 8, 2011

The weary travelers arrived in Bangkok around 11 pm last night after stops in Tokyo and Chicago. We met our guide at the airport and got into the hotel around midnight. After a quick night's sleep, we met our guide for breakfast at 7 and took a walking tour of Bangkok, which included visits to the Wat Pho temple, the Grand Palace, the National Museum, and a ride on a tuk tuk (three wheeled motorized taxi). We are resting for a few hours this afternoon and then heading out for dinner and a boat cruise. Tomorrow morning we fly to Luang Prabang Laos.
