As we were leaving India, the Thomas Cook guy said to change our Rupees in Bangkok as we would get a better rate. So today, we decided to trade them in. Well after 5 stops at banks were they wouldn’t accept Rupees…..we were cursing him. It took the better part of the morning to trade them in. We did get a better rate but only marginally so.
Other than that we checked out the royal palace in Bangkok (check flickr) which was pretty cool. They have this emerald buddha, actually made of jade They dress it up for the seasons….ha! Tomorrow we head for Hua Hin and the much awaited Marriott resort.
Other tidbits on Bangkok
– The touts have nothing on the Indian touts.
– We have been traveling by ferry in Bangkok which is a nice change of pace
