Bangkok, day six

Sep 22

Yesterday I took the train out to Wat Arun, then a ferry across the river to reach it. I wandered the grounds there — what really struck me was how steep the stairways were.

From Wat Arun I walked over to Wat Rakhang, with the Wang Lang marketplace next to it. I browsed the market, grabbed lunch, then took a ferry and train back to the hotel.

Later I got boat noodles at Khon Noodle, enjoyed some nightlife, and called it a night after that.
