Bangkok

Our last stop in Thailand was to the capitol, Bangkok. This was the true city living. Much more fast paced and very much a big city feel. We stayed at the Penninsyla, which is the building behind us. This is where we did most of our shopping. We rode on these boats to get across the Bangkok river.
They had some of the most amazing flower shops along the side of the road. It was crazy at how many different vendors there were. A dozen roses was approximately $1.

We went to The grand palace and temple of emerald Buddah. This was the busiest place that we went to the entire trip. This is a touist must. It was again so amazing to see the details that go into everything that they do.

The whole gang

We then headed to our next spot on a tuk tuk. They are a 3 wheeled scooter. We even had police escorts for this route.

We met 2 of the most famous muay thai fighters, in their day, now they are trainers.  They even put on a show just for our group.
They worship for the first 5 minutes with song. Then the fighting begins.
