Bangkok, Thailand

Sad to leave Laos but keen to pick up our pace, we boarded for an epic train journey through the 'Land of Smiles' to Bangkok.

Often being overwhelmed by the crowds, heat and smells of the big city, we would dive into the tranquility of Wat Pho Temple to admire Bangkok's only laid back citizen: the reclining Buddha.

We were to pass through Bangkok several times over the next six weeks. On the final stay we witnessed, but didn't quite comprehend, the political demonstrations held by the anti-government 'reds'.
