We spent the last four days getting our open water diving licenses, and now that we have a minute or two to relax we figured it was time for a blog. We still have about five more dives to do here (we're going for advanced) so we'll do a quick blog on Bangkok and then another one on Koh Tao later.
This is the temple of the Emerald Buddha. We could only get outside shots because the royal family was inside and security was super tight. The plus side is that we did get to see some princes and princesses. Alrighttttttttttttttttt.
They love their King here. They really really do. These giant pictures are everywhere and it's illegal to say anything bad about the guy. I figure Jo will be out in about six months for the joke she made about him and the monkey.
Another photo that was about the size of BC.
We were lucky enough to be in Bangkok on a holiday and caught the royal procession cruising around. From what we were told this was one of the Prince's cars.
This guy reminds me of my inlaws (just kidding Jill) . This guy was similar to the ones we saw in Korean temples only a hell of a lot bigger.
Jo stylin' and profilin' in front of another temple.
We're in Koh Tao for three more days then we're off to Kuala Lumpur then finally Singapore. It's crazy to think our wonderful vacation will soon be over. Stay tuned for a blog about our diving.
Cheers
Shayne and Jo

Call me up when you arrive in town and are finished having the best shower of your life. (I remember mine after Russia, it was like 45 minutes bliss) Who would of thought hot water was so good.
I'll take you out for a slurpee and introduce you to the brains of my operation.
