We headed out for breakfast with Rob at a nearby restaurant called Breakfast Story. We had breakfast poutine and some mimosas. A great way to start the morning.
Then, we headed to Wat Pho to see one of the many temples in town. This temple houses the reclining Buddha....and it is HUGE! Really something to see. It was crazy hot, but we still enjoyed exploring the temple grounds.
Then, we worked hard to find the public ferry to head across the river. Way cheaper than the tourist boats and a much better experience. Enjoyed our two ferry rides on the river to get to the Siriraj Medical Museum.
This place was creepy! No pics allowed. Lots of medical specimens of body parts after terrible accidents. Yikes! And an informative exhibit on the most recent tsunami that hit Phuket and surrounding beaches.
After that creepiness, it was time for food. Headed to a Pad Thai place on a list I had found and had some yummy stuff!! So good!
Then, we headed to Chatuchak Weekend Market. This place was insane. Reminiscent of the markets in Morocco. Just huge. We spent a few hours exploring and buying affordable treasures. And more mango sticky rice of course.
After that we took a rest time at the Airbnb and then did a rooftop bar (Brewski) for sunset and then a beer garden (Craft) for pre-dinner drinks. Then dinner at The Commons food market. This place was super cool! Loved the vibe. But we got some egg dishes from an egg place that were just okay and then some stellar smoked octopus. Tastes like Texas BBQ. So, not sure we’d go back. Or we’d try some different vendors.
Then, Rob went to pick up Hang and we headed home with a quick stop for mango sticky rice (that we ended up saving for breakfast because we were too tired to eat it that night).
