Martin planned on a city tour

Click for a bigger picture.

	Our first stop was Queen Sirikit's Park in Bangkok. Lovely among the trees.
	Many ponds around. Here Phuong with one of them. The bridge across was quite original.
	Martin relaxing on one of the many benches in the park. Phuong crossing one of the bridges.
	Phuong at one of the many lovely ponds in the garden. Phuong with one of the many flower arrangements in the park.
	Phuong with one of the water lilies in the ponds. The problem with the part was that everything was texted in Thai and no English. Not tourist friendly.
	Phuong on a hot bench. Phuong in the woods.
	Phuong on the bridges going across the canals. Phuong on the bridge over one of the canals.
	Phuong on a bridge. Martin on the same bridge.
	Lovely water ways. A nice water display in the background.
	Lovely fountain of water. Martin on the bridge.
	Phuong and a stone elephant. Then we were off to the National Museum of Thailand.
	The sign at the entrance of the park. Phuong arriving to Suza's car.
	The Victory Monument. Unclear which victory over whom. Overpass next to the monument.
	Details of the Victory Monument. Another Victory Monument.
	Arriving at the National Museum of Thailand. The entrance pulpit of some kind.
	Phuong went to a Buddhist temple to pray to Buddha. Royal carriages. The late king Rama IX is here too.
	Phuong and Martin in front of one of the impressive carriages. Impressive detail.
	Martin and Stone Face. Outside Martin said hello to one of the mythical animals.
	Big fellow. Martin says good bye.
	Time to move on. One of the workers restoring the outside murals on the buildings.
	Nice pale face. Martin and his stone friend.
	Inside with lovely artifacts. The old capital of Siam, gutted by the Burmese in 1746.
	Time to leave. Martin on the ground level.
	Cabbage and condoms restaurant that we visited in the Afternoon. The entrance of the restaurant.
	A column of condoms. The name reflects the fact that condom should be as available and well known as the vegetable, cabbage. Therefore the name. Martin inside.
	Here you have all the variations of condoms. Martin had duck breast. A very lovely and well prepared dish. No candy when you leave, only condoms.
	Next door was a beer hall. Phuong and Martin had a night cap. Budweiser only bar. Very nicely done. The beer was produced in Vietnam.
	Phuong and Marin with a Bud. In the background, Martin. Two Norwegians in the foreground.
	A lovely end to a very nice day on the town. We went to bed early.
