Ethan's Trip to Thailand - Bangkok + a Great Waffle Recipe

In January Ethan spent time rock climbing in Thailand with a few friends that he has from his time on the tall ship, the Lady Washington. It took him three flights to get to Bangkok. He flew out of Denver to San Francisco. From there he took a plane to Tokyo, Japan, where he had a lay-over for a few hours at the Haneda Airport.
The final plane took Ethan to the Suvarnabhumi International Airport in Bangkok. I think it Ethan was traveling for about 23 hours.
Ethan met Alec and Emily at the airport. From there they took a train to their next location. Ethan had a chance to snap a few pictures during their brief time in Bangkok.
On part of their journey through the city, they took a long tail. It is a long boat that sports an awning and a diesel engine.
They also had lunch, some of it coming from a floating market.
There were many styles of dwellings and homes seen from the boat.
Ethan, Emily and Alec also took a tour of the Grand Temple which I will feature in the next post.
