A Regular week in Bangkok

I guess this was as close to a normal week in Bangkok as we could get. Work has been pretty busy, so our hours have been a little more consumed, and we are pretty tired by the time we get home. :(

My cousins from India, Shvetal, Sonika, and their new baby girl Tanisha, were here this week on vacation. It was great, they were trying to figure out where to go for their time off, and remembered that we were in Bangkok, so they decided to come and visit. They spent a few days in Phuket and arrived in Bangkok on Tuesday. It was so nice to see family and to finally meet our new family member. We had a great time exploring a little of Bangkok with them.

We went to the other night market in town, Patpong Market. It's amazing how people create knock offs of everything! Needless to say, I think Alby and I are marketed out....I think we've finally gotten over the touristy feeling.

Friday night our co-worker took us out to Chinatown to eat dinner at one of his favorite restaurants. Even the Prince of Thailand comes there for dinner. It was definitely a place we would not have gone in on our own since it seemed like a step up from a hole in the wall, but the food was amazing, you could tell this was a place locals came to often.


Sunday we tried to do more of the sights and went to Wat Pho, where the ginormous (it is a word) Reclinging Buddha is located. I remember the first thing I said when I walked in was WOW! because it was that amazing. Our pictures do not do it justice.
