Many, many, many, many, many months ago Shawn and I traveled to Bangkok, Thailand. Thankfully, we were in Bangkok several months prior to the unfortunate and deadly violence that broke out in the late spring. We had a fabulous time on our trip and for some reason I never posted the photos. I look forward to FINALLY sharing the photos over multiple blog posts!
Bangkok is roughly a 7 hour flight from Tokyo. As crazy as it sounds, we now consider a 7 hour flight to be short! Since living in Japan, our classification of a ‘short flight’ has definitely changed! 
On our first day in Bangkok we were walking around in the morning when we randomly met an older Thai gentleman named, Artie. Artie was in Bangkok for a ‘teachers conference’. The train back to Artie’s home in Chiang Mai was not leaving until later in the evening, so Artie was walking around the city to pass the time. Artie kindly offered to take us to some of the less touristy areas of Bangkok and we accepted his offer.
We grabbed a taxi and we were off for our unknown adventure! Here are a few sights from my view in the taxi. All of the photos were taken through the glass window of the taxi.
Going through the Chinatown area of Bangkok…
