Thailand / Bangkok
Our one and only day in Bangkok was spent exploring a little of this big city.We walked from our hotel to the King's Palace but unfortunately we weren't allowed in. I had long trousers on and my shoulders covered but Ian had long shorts (passed the knee) but this was unacceptable. Never mind, we viewed it from the outside and it looked very impressive. From here we went out to Ayutthaya, the old Bangkok. It used to have canals and streets and was always referred to as the "Venice of the East".
We farewelled our travel companions from Canberra, who had been with us from Hanoi.(The other mature couple on our first tour!)
The next day was a public holiday (consequently many shops closed) so we just wandered around the local hotel area, before packing and travelling to the airport for our flight back to Hong Kong.
