Jan 11, Bangkok, Thailand Bangkok Wat Pho at eight, doors just open. Had the reclining Buddha nearly to myself for ten minutes, then the tour groups arrived and I was already leaving. Cross-river ferry to Wat Arun, five baht, the best money in Bangkok. Massage at the school inside Wat Pho in the afternoon, an hour, walked out two inches taller. Chinatown at night, Yaowarat Road, ate at four different stools. Slept like a rock.
