I had a ship's tour scheduled so boarded my bus to head to Bangkok, a 2 hr drive. As we approached Bangkok you could see the black air surrounding the city. The air wasn't smoggy looking or brown it was actually black looking. As we drove into it you could see the air between where you were and very nearby buildings. I had never seen pollution so bad.
Thankfully I had my dust mask in my bag so put it on for the rest of the shore excursion.
Unfortunately no amount of dazzling gold monuments will make it worth my while to immerse myself in such pollution, hence the title of the post.
Our first stop was the Grand Palace. Lots of ornate buildings with incredible detail.

Hi Michelle,
Greetings to all on the Tahitian!
We're happy to be back home after our most enjoyable two weeks on the TP, plus a couple of wonderful, busy days in Kyoto.
Thanks for keeping up the good work on the blog. I'm particularly enjoying the current reports as I've not been to any of the places between Hong Kong and Port Said.
Angkor Wat has long fascinated me, and after your description and pix, I do hope to see it for myself one day.
Kind regards, Isolde (& Arnold)
Hi Isolde,
Good to hear from you! I'm glad you had a good time in Japan. There were many things there that I would like to go back and see.
Cheers!
