Bangkok, Thailand!

So confusing!  So everything on here is in Thai - which is the most unreadable written language to a westerner.  Let's see if I can make it through...

So we flew out of Siem Reap, Cambodia this morning and arrived in Bangkok, Thailand.  The hotel here is even better than in Siem Reap.  It's incredible!  I think BYU just has some ridiculous connections.  Bill Marriott (Marriott Hotels) is a mormon and a big friend to BYU, so I think we get a lot of discounts through him.  But this place is right on the water (see Facebook).  We literally take a boat into the city to do stuff.  So today, for example, we took the vans to the airport in Siem Reap, an airplane to Bangkok, a boat to the city, a subway in the city, and a shuttle service to a show tonight.  That's a lot of forms of transportation in one day!

I can't remember the name of the show we went to but it was pretty epic. Half-way through the performance, they revealed a 8-10 ft. wide river that stretched across the stage from left to right and was deep enough for a human to dive in!  And that only took up about 10% of the stage!  It was traditional Thai style with tons of colors and what not.  Really neat. Unfortunately they wouldn't allow cameras. So I have no pics.  But I did get to pet and feed an elephant which was pretty legit.

Oh and we saw another ancient temple today.  The stairs to these things are like climbing a ladder.  Seriously, they are sketch and a bit scary to climb.  We're talking about 1.5-2 ft. high per step with a  step only about 5 inches wide.  I'll try to post a bunch of pics tomorrow morning.

I feel like these blogs are a bit boring. I really need to post more pics.  Rest assured that I have 2700 photos now on my laptop and just need to figure out which ones to include.

Thanks!
