Bangkok: First Day














We woke up at 8 AM and took the hotel ferry across the river. We then walked to the nearest subway station, which was really nice. Nicer than in Seattle and NYC (not hard to beat NYC!). We then proceeded to the dentist office and along the way I ordered some Phad See Ew for 75 cents. It was awesome! The dental office was very nice. Our x-rays were taken within 10 minutes. Our consultation included prices and options. My dentist doubled checked everything and even asked for new x-rays. Everything was explained in clear English. It was by far the nicest, quickest, and informational visit I have ever had. I needed a new filling and to add some porcelain to an old crown. Gabbie had a large cavity and filling. For the both of us it only cost $300.00. Then we headed to Khao San road for some food and shopping. We stopped and I had some grilled beef salad, it was also awesome and only cost two dollars. We shopped around and bought clothing and hammocks. After that we went and got an hour of Thai massage for six dollars per person. Again, AWESOME! On the way home Gabbie picked up a banana and Nutella crepe for one dollar. We are now lounging in out hotel. What a day! I love Thailand!
