Last day in Southeast Asia!

Many miles, many adventures and about 90 days later... I'm leaving this crazy corner of the world for my second home, Germany! But a last day wouldn't be complete without more amazing Thai food, sweltering temps over 100F (with humidity), a golden palace and our last tuk tuk ride!
Street food (which I avoided but it's unique):

The Grand Palace grounds are very special to Thais and the home to the Royal Kingdom. We read up and tried to dress appropriate this time but of course, my freaking Capri pants were too short (but knee length skirts were fine, WTF?!) so had to borrow a sarong to cover up. OMG 6 inches of calf, heaven forbid! (guess its getting time to move on, haha!)
Showing some calf... so rebellious!

Grand Palace

The Emerald Buddha is the most famous Buddha in Thailand. It's from the 1400's, not really emerald (jade) and so tiny. But it ceremoniously changes outfits three times a year per the King (kinda like Mannekin Pis but no peeing). You're not supposed to take pictures but I was on my rebellious streak so what the heck.

Topping off the day with Israeli food, pedicures and foot massages and we are ready! Kap Kun Ka Thailand!
