Bangkok and surrounding area We spent some time in Bangkok and the surrounding area, but most of our time was spent on the island of Ko Samui. These pictures were taken at the Grand Palace in Bangkok, a short walk from our hotel. These status seekers surprised us. We were walking around the Grand Palace in Bangkok when I heard, "Good morning Mr. Rodgers." I turned to find the stewardesses from the airline. I'm sure they just wanted to be in a photo with me. These shots were taken at Wat Sai floating market in Thonburi, near Bangkok. We rode in one of these boats, called longtails, through the city's extensive network of canals. I don't know where this flea bitten varmit came from but he sure looks cute holding that monkey.   Back to Geno's Home
