Another major tourist site in Bangkok is the Golden Buddha. This was my least favorite touristy thing we did in Bangkok because by this point I had seen about five billion golden Buddhas and this was just another one, albeit sitting on a pedestal on the top level of a big temple, but still....a golden Buddha.
Having been sufficiently templed-out, we made our way to Chinatown for the market. Little did we know, one does not simply walk into Chinatown. One must physically push her way and wade through oceans of people to enter Chinatown. Before we even reached the area, we were accosted by street vendors hawking wares and tourists buying all kinds of cheap goods. We shopped for a while, and then utterly exhausted, tried our best to find food, finally settling on dim sum.

In the afternoon we went north to the weekend market, which was hugely packed with people but not as overwhelming as Chinatown. We did some shopping, and then chilled out with a beer before heading back.
