We spent all day worshiping and being in church. The morning started at 8:30am with Thai English lessons. Bing-bing and I were put in the upper level English class to have conversations with. We met Wai-lai, Kor (frog) & Pho (rabbit) who tried their best to speak English with us and understand us. I was as usual going too fast though I know that it was slow for me. LOL After the English lessons, there was a small Bible study and we had the Thai service. Whi...

But it was Saturday and after eating rice after rice dish I wanted something that reminded me of home. So since there was a McDonald's at the corner of the main intersection, we ate there!

Today we took the Skytrain to the last stop by the river where we met up with Auntie Belinda. Then we took a boat to Wat Arun, across the river and a ways down.

The golden gleam of the Grand Palace and Wat Pho can also be seen from the top. But let me tell you those...

Vendors abound selling their wares and you can hear people with Thai accents calling out "you buy", "miss you want some of this pleese&quo...

First day of exploring started with hunting for breakfast. After realizing that the mall didn't open until 10am and we had to meet our "guide" Auntie Belinda at 9:30 in the lobby of BCGH. So we settled in at Au Bon Pain where I had a sweet cheese muffin and Ice Coffee. Due to a mis-communication or rather the lack of it we ended up leaving BCGH at 11am. We took a taxi to what claims to be the tallest building in Bangkok, the Baiyoke Sky Hotel. Our guide...
