Had breakfast at Unico Grande Silom Hotel and checked out for the rest of the trip en route to Chiang Mai. Our first stop was at Ban Pa Inn Summer Palace where we explored amazing European, Chinese and Thai style architecture. Most of my attire for Thailand included cute dresses but upon arrival at Ban Pa Inn Summer Palace I was not allowed to show off my cute strapless dress. Instead, I ended up wearing a traditional Thai wrap around skirt and a man’s yellow shirt with little bunnies. However, I made it work as you can see in the pictures We then headed to a restaurant on the river where we ate traditional Thai lunch with the group. During lunch we began to take note of all the little lizards running up the walls and ceiling. Even though they’re harmless and somewhat cute I can do without the little critters. For dinner we headed to a cute bar called Tony’s place. We ended up meeting Tony and talked about his time in the U.S. We also met a cute “ladyboy” who enjoyed shaking his bum for us on numerous occasions. After dinner we drove to the train station where we boarded a train for the longest 12 hours of my life to Chiange Mai.
