Aug. 21 - 8:00 - BANGKOK
The Rise of 7:00 did not come! Motion for battle and we end up at 9:00 am at the bottom of the hotel for little bf. Pupuce Toune takes fruit and rice, of the omelet, bacon and sausage ... Fo not s'louper in my breakfast! Then to the Wat Phra Kaeo and the Grand Palais.
At the entrance, we must change because the legs and bare shoulders are not accepted in religious places. Buddha's lucky him! He can stay half-naked in this heat! So Pupuce dons a superb salmon shirt and green pants Toune goose poop!
We discover a magnificent architectural complex in Thailand! Many of the sculptures, many temples, lots of gold ... and a lot of people who imitate the statues! The sun beats down but we continue.
We arrive at Wat Phra Kaeo, a gigantic temple agglutinate where hundreds of people, tourists and locals. To rentrer, nous devons passer entre une façade du temple et un gros meuble d’1,5m de haut sur 10m de long environ, dans lequel nous devons déposer nos chaussures. On doit être pieds nus devant Bouddha ! Nous rentrons et nous trouvons devant un hôtel d’adoration 10m de haut, entièrement recouvert d’or et sur lequel culmine un Bouddha d’émeraude. Un trésor digne des film d’Indiana Jones ! D’ailleurs : « Indiana Jones et le Bouddha d’émeraude », ça claque comme affiche, non ?! Fô que j’en parle à Steven…
We left the Grand Palace for us to walk to Wat Pho. It is a temple complex in one of which is a reclining Buddha in gold, 45m long and 15m high. We must also remove our shoes to fit ... very impressive moment when I discovered Buddha! The impression is that you build, then built the temple around! He's stuck between two rows of huge pillars and drowns his hat into the ceiling. We see an entry for tourists (paying) and an input Thai (gratos but kept). I knew we should get an eyelid surgery! ... We come out and enchaînons wonders on wonders ... but ... degrees degrees
's Small breaks dictate. "(Dixit Toune)
"Well, here we go!? "(Dixit Pupuce)
We are about to leave this wonderful site of drowning sun, when the drama happens ... Pupuce remember (reading the Routard) that there is in this complex a SCHOOL OF THAI MASSAGE!
hop, handbrake, neutral and reverse gear!
We find very easily (too) small temple dedicated to this school and to penetrate. A chill wind of air conditioning controlled by a shrinking service phew me ... followed immediately by a very soothing scent of camphor balm massage. El Pupuce there does not let down and she chose the "one hour massage for the body with herbs".
My legendary modesty makes me wait in the lobby air conditioning. I take this opportunity to write a little and sleep a lot ... Pupuce wakes me up and we go out every two-mode "super soft massage and nap." Once at the exit of the complex we take a tuk-tuk direction the National Museum. The ride is good for us and is our little toes. But once it becomes "very soft".
The Museum is very complete sculptures, armories, statues, musical instruments, history of the country illustrated with artwork decorations, etc.. But the fatigue strength takes us and make the visit while trailing thongs as if we were doing cross country skiing. Pupuce surprises even me to follow the route Museum without looking at the windows! Oh no ...

Then we go out and take a tuk-tuk to go for a boat ride. It approaches the first, a beating heart, because we do not know what to say at all ... He shows a map of the city and canals, saying: "Boat Tour" (tour boat). The driver said "Ok! . I asked him "how much? And he said "eighty" (80) or rather "label" with their great English accent rots. I replied "pang pai! "(Too expensive). Any word as Thai super heavy we had learned the day before. I suggest "30 baht" and said "Ok! "Smiling. How we are too hefty!
On the tuk-tuk again!
We arrive on a riverbank and find a Thai one on a pedestal. We ask him a ride boat in Khlong (canals to the west of the city bordered by houses on stilts, a poor neighborhood and traditional).
The Thai says 1200 baht for one hour for both. Imagine the time it took to understand everything! In short, once everyone Ok, Thai whistle of a tug and a ship in the distance happens. We climb and find a grandfather at the helm ... We hold the seat, or rather two wooden planks, and Roll!

We discover, after several minutes of chaos on the main river water, great small canals overgrown with wooden houses on stilts or in jail. Super landscape very relaxing. At a time when we walk, we see many terraces with grannies and their grandchildren that we are cuckoo. It's really a different landscape from BANGKOK!
Then back on the mainland.
Then back on the mainland.
Proud of our insurance, we take again a tuk-tuk and negotiate the return to 20 baht (40 cents!). Now it only tuk-tuk!
Back at the hotel. Quick shower and we leave Chinatown Branch ... ... tuk-tuk of course! ...
Uh ... there by cons it's a little worse, because in fact it is far thus 90 baht! (2 €! Priceless ...). But for this price it really takes us to China! Everything is written in Chinese, there are signs everywhere illuminated, neon and eateries galore not to know the count.
We find a small canteen outside on the sidewalk. We choose super easy, thanks to photos and we regale. Pupuce taking crumbs and crab curry Toune crumbs crab curry. It's like saying, but it's not like eating. The dishes are served with three sauces spicy giga anyone in the family happen to eat! We try and we realize that Chinese is not p ...!
Then stroll digestive and turning a small street, we come across a movie street wild. Too bad, we come to the end of the movie! Specifically in the end credits! Bon bah s'coucher you go then! ...

We go by tuk-tuk ... That's it, we're Thai! Ching chong chung! It s'prend a little glass of late night, I write a few lines, as Pupuce bed and laughs at once, then sleep ...
