Bangkok

I made a stopover in Bangkok, partly to break the journey and partly because I was curious about the city. Of course, I couldn't not take a picture of the Chao Phraya River.

One of the wats in the Grand Palace Complex.

A busy Bangkok street, perhaps near the hotel where I stayed. Cars of that era of course.

I don't remember where I took pictures of this cultural show. The elephant photos following suggest some kind of cultural centre for tourists.

Notice the participation by volunteers from the audience for the finale.

Elephants are no longer used for logging since that was banned in Thailand.

Ethnic performers waiting for their cue.

I took a late flight (probably with Thai Airways) to Amsterdam that night.
