Around Bangkok

We've been wandering in Bangkok for four days now. We haven't hit many of the highlights because we've been here several times. We've enjoyed our time though. And I thought a few pictures would suffice to give you a flavour of our wanderings. And here they are. 

The King and Queen are everywhere. December 5 was his birthday, which Thailand also celebrates as Father's Day. Mother 's Day fittingly is on the Queen's birthday. Our friend Margaret stayed at this hotel so we won't looking for it to remind her of her trip. 

Most of the boats we see on the river have theses flower decorations. This is a long tail boat. They have powerful motors that allow them to speed around on the river with great plumes of spray behind them.

Orchids at the restaurant where we ate salt crusted fish. 

Beauty and barbed wire. (apologies for the soft focus - my camera has a mind of its own.
