Panoramic Views

Today we did some more exploration of Bangkok. We started out at a wholesale clothing market (where we found some good deals on shirts and skirts) and then walked to Baiyoke Tower 2, Bangkok's tallest building. At 997 feet it's the world's 28th tallest.

We were wowed by the amazing views from the revolving observation deck. We sometimes forget what an enormous city we live in! There are an incredible number of buildings with at least 10 stories (and more are being built all the time).

We had fun picking out places we know from way up there.

The girls enjoyed a Shirley Temple in the rooftop skybar and also loved the little museum and "driving" a tuk tuk.

We ended our excursion at a big mall where we tried the new branch of MOS burger from Japan. Apparently it's wildly popular there and judging from the line we had to wait in, it's a big hit here as well. Liza and Claire tried out their spidey moves in front of the mall. The new Spiderman movie is a huge box office hit here.
