Wow, this is going back in the memory banks, but I figure Ill do my best. Basically, this is a fantastic city. It was about 35 degrees celcius and humid as anything, so getting a hostel/hotel with A/C is really worth it. We took a temple tour that took us to the main 3 Buddhist temples in Bangkok. All of them were incredably beautiful, and I believe with only a small donation, free. My personal favourite was the Emerald Buddha, no real reason why. PatPong is an experience to itself. Its a market where you can buy ANYTHING. The exterior is also lined with strip-clubs and the adjacent streets have prostitutes if thats your thing. I was only 14 and but they still tried to pull me into strip-clubs and offer me beer (ah that Thai hospitality). As always, Enjoy.
