Bangkok Day 3 - New Years Eve

NYE in Bangkok started off with a long-boat canal tour. The tour was an hour and a half of cruising the canals where many locals live. No building code requirements to say the least. Snagged a cool Chang mid-tour to quench my thirst from a floating merchant and then it was wait for their canal lock system to release us back to the river.

These long boats can really scoot along the water! Boats are equipped with diesel truck engines (yes, they roll coal) on the back of these hogs and the way the “captain” navigates these boats demands respect.

Lunch at a small place across from Wat Pho, the “reclining” Buddha followed, then it was time to go check out this big “lounge lizard”. Super packed with people, so you can imagine our enjoyment of that piece but super worth it. Have SO many questions about these temples…
And still haven’t gotten the guts to give a monk a nuggie… yet. 😉 Jk (a little). Made sure to place our 💛 for 2024 on the wishing tree before departing.

Tried to visit the Grand Palace but crowds were TOO much. This is definitely on my list to visit next time in Bangkok.

It was then time to head back to hotel, which equals tuk-tuk time! 🙌🏼

Best. Tuk Tuk. Yet. This guy drove like he stole it and we felt like it was like an amusement ride. This guy cut our time back to hotel by like 30 mins! A few close calls but he was a “tuk tuk ninja”!

Rang in the New Year with dinner by the river, then rooftop bar and a foot massage before heading back to hotel in time to watch fireworks at midnight. 🎆

What a way to wrap up one of the most treasured years! #blessed
