On one of our first free Sunday's we visited the Bangkok Zoo. It was nice to get away from the hustle and bustle of the city. We took the BTS Skytrain to the last terminal on the north side of the city. From there we took a taxi that took us past the King & Queen's Chitralada Palace and on to the zoo. We found it very peaceful, quiet, and relaxing. There was so much to see and it took us most of the day to take everything in. We were thoroughly entertained by all the various species of monkeys as well as the elephants. The one picture shows an elephant getting a bath by its trainer. It was amazing to see the relationship between the two. Also this was taking place right on the sidewalk so they were literally just a few feet away from us. While there we had plenty to eat and drink as this is Thailand and food is everywhere you turn. Can't help but try the various items that are always available. By the end of the day we started our journey back home only to end up at a massage parlor where we both had one hour foot massages! In case you were wondering, a one hour foot massage is 200 Baht which is equivalent to $5.88 U.S. Oh, what a way to end a day! As they say in Thailand..."sabai, sabai."
