the grand palace and then some

after we finally figured out how to actually get in the grand palace, we went exploring. zoe was in love with how sparkly it was. the golden stupa was a real hit. she even wore her princess tiara in honor of visiting a palace.

outside the temple of the emerald buddha, which is not emerald, we dipped lotus flower in water and splashed our heads for good luck. are you listening buddha?
someone wishes her room had this much bling bling.

even thomas managed to enjoy himself.
though it seemed to be nearly as difficult for us to find our way out as it was to find our way in. good job we had the excellent navigation skills of zoe and brita.
then we hopped on a very crowded ferry bus back to banglampoo.
where we ate super yummy food and my favorite food stall.
then there was the evening stroll down khao san road to soak in all the chaos.
and since, bangkok´s night market is no longer happening, we headed back to zoe´s favorite flower market to round out our night. not bad for one day in bangkok.
