An Evening in Bangkok

While working on the photo book from my Vietnam trip, I realized that the traditional Thai dance performances on our last night in Bangkok would make a nice little book.  Here it is:

Vietnam Cruise: Bangkok, Local Performances

The evening in Bangkok was the perfect ending to our day and our entire cruise.

We started with drinks with friends at the Mandarin Oriental hotel, then took a little boat to cross the river over to the Peninsula hotel for dinner and a performance which showcased the traditional Thailand dances.

Many different styles and costumes, which we enjoyed all throughout dinner. 

At the end, they all came back on stage for an encore.  Such an amazing way to end the day, the cruise, the entire trip.  We had an early flight home the next day but my head was filled with the sights, sounds, and flavors of Bangkok all the way home.

Vietnam Cruise: Bangkok

The absolute highlight of the trip turned out to be the day in Bangkok when we got off the ship.  We had a guide and tried to get as much in as we could with the limited time that we had.

The Grand Palace was so amazing, I could have photographed that place for days!  I just couldn't click fast enough, it was so much fun. 

We also got to see the Reclining Buddha.  Again - amazing!  Such a thrill to photograph this place.  I would love to come back when I could have more time.

Many more pictures are posted on my Flickr site, you are welcome to visit there.  Hard to choose just a few to represent this day.  We started at the Grand Palace, took a little river cruise, saw the Reclining Buddha, visited the flower market - and had an absolutely amazing day.  Bangkok truly goes down as one of my favorite places.  We then had to get ready for our evening, dinner and a show.
