I have a new favorite food: Pad Kra Pao. The Thai stir-fried basil dish. Got it today from a small shop. They asked for my desired spice level. I said “medium” and it didn’t get me at all! It just tasted wonderful!
As always, a lot of walking. I’ve seen quite a bit of the area around where I’m staying. One could live here for decades and not see everything.
I couldn’t go into the Grand Palace because I was wearing shorts (and didn’t want to go in enough to change clothes). I did get some time in one particular area. The Buddhist temple Wat Arun Ratchawararam.
I ended the day at a mall. Not really a sight to see; just a gigantic mall. Didn’t spend a lot of time there, but it’s fun to see the more familiar in the middle of the unfamiliar.
I leave tomorrow evening. Should have time to do a little something during the day. Then it’s down to Phuket.
