With the Inle Lake extension over, we said good by the the Marathon Tours group and headed to Thailand and Cambodia.....

.....Bangkok was whirlwind--24 hours in and out---but brought back good memories from when I worked there.  We got in late at night and took a one-hour taxi ride to a quirky but really neat hotel that Alida had found us online.  It was located right on the Chao Prya River and in the heart of the historic district.  This was the view at breakfast.



The next morning we could literally walk to the major tourist attractions and visited the famous "Reclining Buddha."  I'd been there before but it's always amazing.  Over 160 feet in length, it would cover more than half a football field.



The Royal Palace was next door and we spent quite a bit of time there wandering the grounds.














Devin even had a contemplative moment:



After lunch, we headed back to the airport and a short flight to Siem Reap, Cambodia for the Angkor Wat Half Marathon.
