Today I planned to get up, go to the palace, the reclining Buddha, Wat Arun, take a train to Lumphini park, come back and relax.

Instead I woke up around 7:45, my alarm wasn't turned on for 7:30 like it should have been.  I felt like crap so I took two Dayquil, drank a ton of water, and then read for a bit to kill time for the Dayquil to take effect. 

Half-an-hour passed and I decided I wasn't going anywhere I went back to bed. 

I woke up at a quarter to two.  Woops.

Still feeling sick I figured I should probably venture out to find food.  I think the body needs it or something.  I took more Dayquil and went to Pratanum market about 15 minutes away. 

There about one gazillion people and I wandered around looking for something palatable.  Eventually I found a stall serving something tasty looking but when she served it up I noticed she threw raw meat in.  Determined not to visit a hospital I decided not to eat the dish but instead to pick at it for a moment and sample what I could. 

Moments from stuffing some noodles in my mouth I realize...

O shit, these aren't noodles they're worms...

 

So I stuffed the Disney approved squishy vegetable wraps I also bought into my maw along with some Falafelly type deal and bought a bag of sliced mango.  

I don't know what the deal is with this place, they put everything in bags.  Slice up some mangos? Yea I'll put that in a bag and give you a big'ole toothpick to eat it.  You want a coke?  Bet your ass that I'm pouring it in a tiny plastic bag with wittle handles on it.  Dont' worry you get a straw.  

I'm not complaining, its just nothing I ever even thought of.  I'll have to get a picture of a coke-bag.

I finally got back to the my room and past out in my own filth for an hour on my bed while organizing clothes.  Afterwards, I went out in search of cold medicine, failed, and ate 3 plates of food while watching a kids show and Thai soap opera in the restaurant I was at.

Here's some random pictures and videos.

Street of the place I'm staying.

A random temple I walked into.  The picture does it no justice.

Inside the temple on top of The Golden Mountain.  After Sophie and I paid, they kicked us out b/c it was time to close.  Kauuwwp KUUnnnn Kruaap.

General area of Pratunam I was in.

 Mango bag (ate 80% of it already).  They give you this lil pouch of salt/sugar/spicy mix to eat with the fruit.  I swear, these people eat more salt than I do.

 This is a mall by the area of Pratunam I was in, if it runs on batteries or can be plugged in, they sell it here.  Never mind, loading is becoming a pain.  Sorry for any spelling/grammar stuff, I just rattled this off before bed.
