Thailand // Bangkok Living

It was unbelievably hot in Bangkok (and I seriously mean it) but it was worth the trip. The city was hustling and bustling, nonstop. Lots of strange street food (some that I sampled tasted like heaven) and lots of Asian fusion food that also didn't disappoint.

After a few trial and errors, we learned the best method of transportation was the Skytrain/MRT. The tuk tuk was fun to ride in but it's a tourist trap so we expected and did pay more than we should have and be taken for a ride to places you did not want to go. And taxis have A/C but to move at 1/4 mile during rush hour took an hour!
