Pigs, parks, lizards & Chinatown

Today we headed out by water taxi again - saw our friendly piggies in the street again. Five of them this time. This time up and wandering.

Then we headed to Lumpini park - they call it the Central Park of Bangkok. It was very pretty - they have 400 Monitor lizards living there. They looked a lot like Komodo dragons to me, but apparently are much smaller. We only saw one on the banks, who had just caught a fish and was eating it. Very intimidating.

Then we headed to Chinatown! It was loud, bright, and FULL of life and FOOD! All kinds of food. We ate and ate - tried all different things - and only spent like $15! It was awesome. Stand outs were: coconut cake dessert that was wonderful, noodles with crab, shrimp gyozas and mango sticky rice!!

Where we’re staying there is a family that practices acrobatics every night in the street - we see them when we get back. They’re practicing for a Chinese New Years celebration. We got video of them tonight. The youngest, on the top, is only 5.
