(^24) Bangkok
Twenty-four hours later, the bus arrived in one of my favourite cities.
Peachy Guesthouse was my abode of choice in Bangkok as it was
cheap as chips. While there, I noticed a familiar-looking pannier by
the rubbish bin. I knew the pannier quite well as it belonged to
Ernest, an old cycling buddy with whom I had parted ways in the
Americas. It seemed that he had stayed at the same guesthouse
recently and, like me, his panniers were also falling apart.
Bangkok
First thing in the morning, I caught a water taxi to the Embassy. I’m
always thrilled to use city transport, like everyone else. I paid the
required fee at the embassy and then trundled around the many
malls.
Afterwards, enough time remained to visit the National Museum. To
celebrate the 60th birthday of HRH Princess Maha Chakri Sirindhorn,
the Fine Arts Department hosted a special exhibition, “Feminine
Deities: Buddhism, Hinduism And Indigenous Cults In Thailand”.
Maybe they weren’t well-liked, as the majority were headless.
Bangkok
Staying in Bangkok one more day was easy as I was in no hurry to go
anywhere, and Bangkok provided an endless array of exciting events
and activities.
