Day 2 in Bangkok, Thailand

Today started pretty early for me with continued pain in the back; this getting old shit is getting me down.....

I spent an hour before breakfast messing around in the alley trying to get some more bird shots.

Breakfast with Tom was two Americans; fried eggs, sweet white toast, coleslaw, fruit and coffee for me and tea for Tom.

Went for a stroll along the river to a park where Tom played soccer with a local lad and i continued with my quiet obsession...

Tom wanted to visit a big mall, so we did; MBK. Seven stories of advanced shopping goodness. I didn't buy anything. Tom bought headphones. Got a good lunch in the 'Big Food Court', though for just over $2-50.

Caught up with Susie and Amy [after catching up with them the night before for dinner in Chinatown] for a little light lunch; spicy Papaya salad Som Thum[?]. Then we went for a stroll to the
Palace. Managed to get there 20 minutes before closing and wrote it off. Went for a little spin along the river in a long boat instead and that killed an hour of time.....
