One of the trivial but magnificent pleasures of Bangkok is the feeling experienced after taking a hot shower. After an unimaginably hot, humid and sticky day, the feeling is simply wonderful.
Bangkok is hot, busy, smelly and challenging to navigate. But the sightseeing is often well worth the hassle. I'm staying on Kao San Road, a pretty frenzied area of backpackers and streets touts alike. It's impossible for me to walk more than 10 meters without being offered a tailored suit or a ride somewhere; I'm now partially used to it but also largely tired of it.
To rejuvenate, I went for a thai massage at a massage school in Wat Pho. It felt like I could crumble under the thumbs of my thai masseuse - and that is the definition of a perfect massage.
A few days ago I took a day-trip to the floating market and the tiger temple. The tiger was angry that day, but I looked into his eyes and said "do your worst for I will do mine", and then he was tamed.
Looking forward to joining my group tomorrow and then departing for northern Thailand.

That is how I would have chosen to tame the tiger as well. Nice FB pic right there.
