So much for the city.

These are pictures from different things so far in Thailand. The first one is of the market at Patpong Road in Bangkok. You can buy anything from watches to flesh on Patpong, and no one complains.

The second picture is of Tom on the floating raft on the River Kwai that was our room for two night in Kanchanaburi, about 2 hours north of Bangkok. We left Bangkok to head north and see some of the countryside. The picture under that is Tom in Hellsfire Pass. This is part of the story of how the Japanese in World War II made locals who were conscripted and POWs build athe Thai-Burma Railway to supply Japanese troops in their fight against the Chinese.



The lats two pictures are of Tom & I at different sites of the ruins of Ayutthaya, the former capital of the Kindgdom of Siam. A lot of the ruins are preserved from the 14 & 15th centuries. Very cool.

So far the trip has been great. I actually got some strange 36 hour flubug thing that had me feeling just aweful, but I somehow survived, and now am ready for more siteseeing. As you can see from the last photo, I have gone native with my blue shirt.

The weather has cooperated. It is currently about 97 degrees here, with clear skies for days. Hopefully, that will continue for another two weeks.
