Monty magic in Bangkok

Our next excursion was to seamy Bangkok. Seamy because it was 38C and 95% humidity rather than any particularly risqué nightlife. Karen and I stayed at a wonderful new B&B (the Asadang) in the Old Quarter.

And then Monty showed up! Wahey! Great to see Monty looking so tanned and light and healthy, then it was straight out to tour the city’s unbelievably scenic klongs (canals).

There were temples, shanty houses, teak mansions, banana trees and huge swimming lizards. Ace!

Karen even had to fend off at one point when the propeller of our long-tailed boat got all snarled up.

We had a great seafood dinner and neighbourhood tour with Monty’s friend Sue, topped off with a lovely riverside drink (she also facilitates passports).
