Adventures in Bangkok

Yesterday was our first full day in Bangkok so we spent the day exploring the city.  We hopped on the metro and then admired random but beautiful buildings, wandered around deceivingly large side street markets, took a river boat taxi up the river to Khao San Road where we strolled by busy patio restaurants with live music and backpackers galore.

Today we decided to try and get some more physiotherapy exposure since most of our friends are still hard at work on placement…  We weren’t very successful in the first hospital we tried but we did have some luck when we stumbled upon Healing Hands Physiotherapy Clinic where we met a friendly Italian physiotherapist who invited us in, served us coffee and water and taught us various physiotherapy techniques for 5 hours straight!! We’re hoping to run into some more awesome people like him in our upcoming journeys…

First Day in Bangkok

On our river boat taxi ride

Worms, larvae, scorpions, grasshoppers, small amphibians, grubs, and tarantulas! We were too scared to eat them but not too scared to snap pics.

Grubs and Tarantulas!

Healing Hands Physiotherapy/Second Day in Bangkok

Adam’s Mexican Coffee came in Das BOOT!

We needed access to Adam’s legs to practice some techniques so he had to wear these oh-so-stylish pink pants 🙂
