If this whole MBA thing doesn't work out - I may start running one-day tours of some Bangkok landmarks.
Last Wednesday (no classes on Wednesdays!!! Well, or most Mondays or Fridays....), the UNC crew and I hit the town.
I use "hit the town" loosely here - don't get too excited about this post. What I really mean is that we chose the absolute hottest day of the week (note, it's winter here, but it was still 95+) to do a walking tour of some Bangkok hot spots.

- Mid-morning: Taxi to Grand Palace
- Got a local tour guide to tell us all about the Grand Palace
- Lunch
- "Reclining Buddah" temple
- Boat taxi over to Wat Arun
- Dress up in "traditional thai clothes" outside the Wat (basically I think it just gives the locals a GOOD laugh)
- Head over to Arun Residence for the best sunset view of Wat Arun
- Flower market! (I forced the guys to go....)
