Julia and I really liked Bangkok for the first few days.  Often times, when you hear about Thailand people will say “Get out of the city. It’s too hot, sweaty, crowded, and dirty.  Head to the beaches.”  I can totally understand this sentiment, but all in all we thought Bangkok was pretty great.  We spent about five days there total.  The first three days consisted of a street food binge fest (see previous post.)  The last two days were ready to leave.  I think 3-4 days in Bangkok is probably just about perfect. It is, in fact, hot, sweaty, dirty and crowded, but it was also vibrant, exciting, delicious and cheap.  The teacher side of me can’t help but grade it. I’d give it a solid A.
