One of Bangkok's greatest tourist attraction is the Grand Palace and the many Wat's (Buddhist temples) throughout the city. I got to see quite a few in my adventures!
Guards marching through the Grand Palace area
Sooooooo many people!!
The Emerald Buddha
Wat Pho (Temple of the Reclining Buddha)
Lots of stray cats around the Wats
After Bhutan we headed to Bangkok for a week. My comrades had work training during the day, so I got to explore on my own!
We stayed at a very funky and cool hotel- the Indigo. Great happy hour and great rooftop infinity pool!
We did a night bike tour through a beautiful flower market
The city was getting ready for the king's birthday (the day after I left!)
Thai massages at Bhawa. Worth. every. penny. WOW.
The Jim Thompson House was incredibly interesting!
The malls in Bangkok are quite lavish. This mall had an entire "Sea Life" at the bottom of it!
We stopped over in the town of Punakha and stayed at this lovely hotel overlooking the city. We visited the Punakha Dzong (fortress) which is the most beautiful fortress in Bhutan. 
The Phallus is a sign of fertility and good luck in Bhutan....so yep, it was everywhere (insert giggles)
The Buddha Tree
The Dzong (fortress)
Our last day was an intense hike to the Tiger's Nest Monastery- It is 2000 feet up on a sheer cliff face! It's about a 3 mile, steep uphill hike (1 way). Not for the faint of heart, but well worth it!
You can take ponies halfway to the top- not us though!
Another Dzong (fortress) in Paro
Our last evening was a traditional Bhutanese meal at an old farm house. Complete with a real hot stone bath!
