A long long first day!

Haven't slept since Thursday and have spent a day in Bangkok from 8am till now looking at Buddas (lying, laughing, lucky & marble & largeBuddas so far) temples & palaces - blown away by craftsmanship!
Lunchtime at Chatuchak Market

Another day in paradise

James Bond Island & floating village
