Wandering around the Grand Palace and the hectic Bangkok Streets

After a weekend spent on a plane...I've arrived in Bangkok! Steamy Bangkok where my plans today so far have included eating a nice breakfast at my hotel, learning how to cross the street, buying a purse to carry my map and water, and figuring out what to do today.

Just a quick note to tell you I'm here!!!

Ok, update of how I spent the day. I explored Khoa San Road to see the shops and stroll, then I was off the the Grand Palace area to explore the Wats, then I went and got a massage at the hotel, then followed it by food at a great thai place. Wonderful way to spend the day. OF course, jet lag took over and I was in bed before most people got up, but I'll be back in Thailand in a week and will try to live it up more then.
