The final leg of our trip was Bangkok. The twins were ready to see city life after a couple of legs in beach towns. Well, they got some of that and they also got to see a ton of Buddhas and temples! After a while, it started to look the same though. I could tell they got bored. They're not too into "culture" yet. As they get older, I'm sure they'll appreciate it more. I also get the sense that they're growing a bit tired in general. It's humid and hot outside, and socks tend to get pretty moist when you're walking around. Anyhoo.... some pics from our trip!
Reclining Buddha.
Grand palace
You can see the twins toward the right. They're small but there they are! Smiling as always!
Another pic of the twins hanging out.
This dude was cool. He was making monk bowls by hand. Impressive.
We went to the snake farm and saw this guy hanging out. The socks wanted to pet him, but I said no. I was tempted to throw them at its head to see what would happen but the better parent in me refrained.
We spent one day at Ayutthaya City and saw the Buddha in the tree and the ancient temples.
Hangover 2 spot at State hotel.
Patpong night market and red light district
Tuk tuk driver.
Khao San road. The backpacker area as seen in "The Beach". Some stupid tourist try to buy my socks from me. I told her they weren't for sale, nor were they Thai. Duh.
So our trip ended October 7th. Wow, was it a long trip! Flight back was uneventful. I packed the socks in and checked the bag they were in. They slept all the way home!
I sure hope the twins appreciated this adventure. I know that Eric would never have shown them such exciting places. He would have just thrown them on his smelly feet and probably wouldn't even take the time to show them the sights or educate them. What a bad parent. I'm glad the twins are free from his reign of terror! One of these days, I will try and free their brothers and sisters from him so that they too can have these fun adventures and be reunited with the twins!
