December 25th we woke up in Bangkok Thailand ready to start our adventure. The majority of Thailand's population is Buddhist so I wasn't expecting much in respect to a Christmas celebration but I was pleasantly surprised. There were Christmas lights hanging from the trees with Merry Christmas banners, decorated Christmas tree's and a little nativity set up in our hotel. How thoughtful is it for a country with 95% believing in one thing but still be so willing to try to make Christmas pleasant for everyone else! We had already celebrated our Christmas so didn't really do much more then wish each other a Merry Christmas ... again, and I took a snap of the kids in front of the nativity the hotel was sporting.
The other time we had been in Bangkok Ryan and I were captivated with the huge weekend market and all the amazing things they had, seriously everything! Since it was Saturday we decided to head to Chatuchak weekend market and see what we could find as far as treasures. We got ourselves a tuk tuk and squashed all up together and off we went to the market and definitely were not disappointed! They had every kind of snack you could want, coconut ice cream, fresh fruits, shakes, wraps, thai curry, popsicles. They also had some foods that maybe you wouldn't want to eat:
It was such a busy day and by the time we made it back to the hotel to pick up our luggage and head to the train station I was ready for bed. I think the 5 of us were all in our bunks by and sleeping by 6:30pm.
