My first day in Bangkok was a medley of sights, smells and sounds. With Ouja parking her @$$ firmly at the Renaissance to knock out some long abated work, I was left to my own devices, with the pulsing city of Bangkok as my playground. Feeling more ballsy than tepid, I took to the streets and played the part of tourist with my camera strap dangling from neck, ready to be ambushed by the sensory onslaught that is Thailand. First stop was to the Temple of the Golden Buddha (Traimit) where I was besieged by an 80 foot statue of the Buddha, made of pure gold. After paying my respects, I took to the streets, making sure to hit up some street-side vendors whereupon I was whisked into pad thai heaven. What better way to kick off a trip?
