Travel Agent?

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....)

Barely Fit in my Picture
Reclining Buddah aint no thang
Many Buddahs, Many Prayers
We are Grown Ups
