Quite a good choice at the breakfast buffet, something for everyone. Asian, Western, Middle Eastern and Indian.
Had pork and shrimp congee and a freshly cooked omelet. The green stuff is Guava juice. Black stuff is coffee.
Had a swim after breakfast and then headed out for a walk to Lumpini Park, about 2 miles away but ended up walking around for about 6 miles. Which is ok in UK, but in 28 degrees and humid Bangkok it is a bit draining. Big red face and buckets of sweat,,, nice. The park is surrounded on all sides by really busy roads but once inside there is no traffic noise and is a good place to spend some time. Lots of people exercise here in the mornings and evenings, and there are always bike clubs racing around the perimeter tracks. There is an outdoor food court for cheap eats, although not sure what time it starts. Was closed at mid day except for places to get a drink and snacks.
Not many big lizards around today, saw this one and one in the bushes I got a vid of which was a bit bigger, waited a while but it wouldn’t come out. Can’t transfer video from the camera to the tablet though. The park was getting a bit overrun with lizards, so a few years ago the authorities set out to thin them out by catching some and taking to a lizard rest home somewhere. Or to get eaten, whichever ending you like best. Plenty of little turtles about.
Can’t argue with that.
It was hitting 30 degrees when I decided to head back so got the underground to get back to the hotel area. Cost 23 baht which is about 55 pence. There are always plenty of taxis about and they are cheap compared to UK but the metro , sky train and the river/canal boats are the best way to get around Bangkok, they are cheaper, quick and you don’t get stuck in traffic.
10 minute walk at the other end so stopped off at Hollys Coffee shop to cool down. Peppermint iced tea and coconut cake. Bit expensive for what it is, £6 with tax and service charge. I know it is the city centre but Holly you need to adjust the prices.
