Bangkok, Thailand, Day 1

Today is our first day in Thailand.

We went to a lot of fun places. To get around town we rode in a tuk tuk. It has one wheel in the front and two in the back. It has no doors. This is what it looks like on the inside.

The first place we went to was a temple where there was a 30M tall Buddha* statue!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

We had to take of our shoes because it was sacred ground. Fisher and I each released four birds from cages so that they could fly to the top of the Buddha. We rubbed it’s feet for good luck.

Next, we went to another temple. It had an eight hundred year old** Buddha statue in it!

Then, we went to the tailor, where my dad got a suit. My brother and I each had our first coke. 😉

Next, we went to floating market, where we bought fruit and souveniers.

And finally, we went to a last temple (for today) and saw the reclining Buddha that was 46M long.
