Bangkok Snaps (1 of 2)

Okay. So there were tonnes of photos we could have taken to try and show you the "whole" Bangkok, but that would have included photos of mega-malls, public transport, and girls dressed up in anime costumes. So - instead - we've decided to focus on the more beautiful aspects of the city (although I did get a little misty-eyed over the public transport!)
The first two are in the Grand Palace. The black/gold/orange roofed temple is Wat Phra Kaeo (in which sits the non-photographable emerald Buddha). The next one of the Chao Praya river is from atop Wat Arun. (The river is the easiest way to get between the sights in the old city.) The photo of Vee acting all demonish is also Wat Arun, which actually has the steepest stairs I've ever climbed (almost scary, especially when you're carrying a camera!) The final photo is of Lumphini Park, which a great little park in the middle of the city where we spent a couple hours reading, walking, and hanging out with dozens of monitor lizards.
