Bangkok pt. ii (we are safe)

We’ve had an eventful day, with one of the strongest earthquakes to hit Bangkok in years. We felt nothing (really! we’re still analysing our day to figure it out but we didn’t notice a thing) and are completely safe

The Grand Palace was amazing for sheer opulence, as well as an excellent textile museum

The earthquake meant everyone working in a high rise was sent home for the day, which resulted in the worst traffic Bangkok has ever seen. It took us an hour to travel a distance we could have walked in 15 minutes.

In the taxi we knew we had missed the bag drop time for our flight, so we booked a new one for the next day and a hotel . . . And then got an email that our flight was delayed so we could have made it anyway 🫠 oh well, we’ll just go tomorrow
