Mom in BKK!

My mom arrived in Thailand on December 4th and we spent 4 days in Bangkok before heading up north to Chiang Mai (I loved it so much that I wanted my mom to be able to see it too!). While she was in Bangkok we went to the Grand Palace, Wat Pho, Wat Arun, did a canal tour, and a cooking class. It was packed full
of activities, but we had a lot of fun. 
Mom at the Grand Palace..

We had a wonderful tour guide at the palace and I learned a lot about Thai culture from the perspective of the older generation. 

Outside the Grand Palace Throne Hall that incorporates the architecture styles of both traditional Buddhist wats and French colonial buildings.
Me in front of the reclining Buddha at Wat Pho. There is a massage school on site and we were both treated to the best Thai massages in town.

The next day we did a canal tour with the best tour guide in Bangkok, Sunny.
