+ 1st stop : Bangkok. two days in the city before flying south to the coast.

arrive at midnight and stay in this hotel near the airport. (these are the only two bags we brought!)
taxi into the city. mass traffic for cars. Scooters was vehicle with momentum. 
we stayed on the second floor of this old chinatown storefront. 
we had to lock up each night, and let ourselves out in the morning with a giant padlock. 

our first Wat or buddhist temple, around the corner from our spot in Chinatown

birds in cages were a common occurance. many for sale, some in temples, restaurants. I am unsure of the meains, reason, and type of birds. Unsure of the plant to the left as well.
