View large trip on Everytrail.com Today I decided to go on a little walk to Boudha Stupa. I walked through Patan, along the Bagmati River, through Pashupatinath and then got a little lost before finding the stupa. I saw many different faces of the city along the way. After the stupa I took a bus [...]  The city is an entirely different world. Traffic, noise, dust and busy busy busy. I checked out Patan Durban Square today.

The “visit to the vegetable market” was not so spectacular because it consisted of visiting one guy with a vegetable cart. The cooking was great though because we made about 10 different Thai [...] My parents are visiting and I’m having a great time showing them around Bangkok. Today we ate lunch at Koko, had dessert at Siam Paragon, sampled chocolates at King Power, moved me out of my old place on Rangnam, and ate dinner on the street near the new apartment.
