Once again it was very warm, even though it was raining a bit (hot rain) when we left the Hotel. After our breakfast at Starbucks (better and cheaper coffee as in the hotel), we took the Skytrain to Saphan Pier and from there took the Chao Praya River Express to the Grand Palace and the Emerald Buddha. It was very beautiful and very impressive, all the buildings had the most beautiful colors and the decorations were very rich. It was difficult to take pictures of everything as the buildings were quite close to each other.
As we had to dress properly in trousers and t-shirt, we were getting very warm and went for some ice cream, after which we went back to our hotel to change into swimming clothes and take a nice cool swim in the pool at the 36th floor of the Royal Meridien next door. You paid 2 Euro's for a beer, but the ice cold glass and beer were very refreshing.
