Nice to finally leave the gates of Nichada and get out see some of the sights that this great country has to offer. We visited the Grand Palace of Bangkok which was really interesting. I managed to get lost and hooked up with another group for a while (first pic :) ) but joined Katie and the others to finish the tour of this gold plated palace. No joke! All of the gold temples you see in the pictures are indeed covered in gold leaf, possible only by the proceeds from the millions of tourist's that pay to visit the palace each year.Next up was the Summer palace near Ayuthaya (the old capital). Why walk around when you can rent golf carts for 5 dollars that let you buzz around the monuments at top speed. Perfect for people with short attenton spans ;).
