We arrived before meeting up with the cycling group for a day's sightseeing in Bangkok. Unfortunately, my mate Stuart was unwell so I planned a solo outing on foot and by ferry to visit some temples. Walking south from the Nuovo City hotel I went past the well known Khaosan road.

The latest Tuk Tuks have flashy wheels, coloured lights and music.

Street life

Wat Pho includes the huge reclining Buddha.

The Grand Palace was too busy...

...so I caught a ferry to visit Wat Arun on the other side of the river.

After meeting with the cycling group, our guide, 'Is', took us on a tour of the street food.

Ending up at a restaurant in a lively street.
