We made it to Bangkok early Wednesday morning. Our guide book said that March and April are the hottest months in Thailand, but we got lucky and it has been cloudy and cool the three days here. Our first day we rested and enjoyed our great hostel. The second day we wandered through Chinatown, and today we visited the Royal Palace and the Temple of the Emerald Buddha. One difference we felt walking around is the number of tourists here compared with any Indian city we visited. We saw more foreigners walking around Chinatown than we saw in any city we visited in India (including Agra).
In all, we have really enjoyed Bangkok. We didn't see that much of the city though; we do wish we were spending more time in Thailand and will add it to our long list of places to visit in the future.
