We are cheating and catching up on some old posts!
We said goodbye to our tour group upon reaching Bangkok from Cambodia and then spent the next 4 days on our own resting up. Bangkok was very much like other major cities. We spent a small amount of time riding the Sky Train and browsing through the mega malls, which were our first reminder of the Christmas season, with all the decorations, glitz and glamour.
We spent a day wandering around the Chatachak markets which was unbelievable. Hard to describe just how big and crowded they were. Thankfully Tiana's already sore backpacking shoulders kept her from going too crazy with the buying. The highlight of Bangkok however was visiting ECB (Evangleical Church of Bangkok) for their Sunday morning service. The congregation is made up of people from more than 40 different nationalities, all coming together as one family under God. It was very encouraging. The service was more of a Christmas concert with lots of singing, dancing and drama. It was great fun.
We were both very ready to leave Bangkok after 4 days, partly because of the excitement of finally going to Sri Lanka.
