As usual, this was my breakfast.
Local style.. not bad!
Western style... yummy!
After taken our breakfast, we went to the Grand Palace as today activity. I think this will take our whole day time (morning + noon). We took a taxi from our hotel... we lazy to walk and take BTS already, hehe.
Once we dropped from the taxi... one fatty guy was walking forward to us... and told us Grand Palace was doing Buddha ceremony... it was close since morning and will re-open after ~1pm. He show us the map and recommended us go here and there by tuk-tuk which only 20 baht for whole trip... after that baru visit the Grand Palace. From what he told us, those tuk-tuk drivers who are wearing uniform with the government logo - represented that their are 'hired' by government and provice service to the tourist. So they won't charge you with too high.... stardard price which fixed by the government. Well, Alfonso saw a lot peoples also going in and out from the Grand Palace... he don't believe what he said Grand Palace is closed for few hours because of the ceremony. He rejected him and we direct walked to the Grand Palace. As what Alfonso believe... It was OPEN! That guy so bad... bluffed us.

Typically, coconut is the must...
Forget what it call.... I think this is their local food which most of the local people also will order it... cheap and nice... that dark brown color taste like bacon. Actually this food is just a 'fast food'... nice was ready fired... they just put the 'dishes' on top.
Rating: **** (just compare with their local stall food, not restaurant)
Can't miss... tomyam gong again...
Rating: **1/2
This one is... hmm... forgot... I think is the pork on top.
Rating: **1/2

See their uniform, look coooool... (like popeye? hehe)
This is the 'boat' going to the opposite 'land'... can see? There is the Wat Arun.
ZoooooooooM... Wat Arun
After lunch, we backed to the hotel. On the way to get the taxi, we met the tourist police... he recommended us go here and there... he was so nice... but we rejected since Uncle Jee not interested on this and we were tired. Walked for a while, we got the taxi lastly. This taxi driver was cool (queit)... not like other who we had met. Usually, taxi driver will 'promote' his service such as the day trip. This driver never said out one word about this... he just concentrated his driving. Well, he won't drive like crazy like others, again. We feel lucky to get this taxi :) Anyhow, what interesting was this driver not sure where the hotel that we stayed at. He sent us to the another quite class hotel... haha! Well, we show him the map... but he still blur blur... he stop the car and went out to as his 'colleugue'... ( u can know, taxi is around of us anytime). His colluegue showed him how to go... nice guy. I believed this driver don't know speak the English very well... so he keep queit along the way... and he was a shy person.
