Moving on we saw some elephants. Rides were available, but since we had one scheduled for the next day we passed. It was interesting watching them eat, but we passed on buying food to feed them. We saw one of them sneeze(?) and get elephant snot on a guy. I didn’t think that looked very pleasant. The elephants seemed pretty good at getting the edible things out of the basket and dropping the rest to the ground.

We went to another wat. On the grounds was a reclining Buddha statue. I found it rather strange, not like what I am used to seeing. The smaller statues on the grounds here all had heads. Our guide said that they had been stolen as well, but that they had been replaced with new ones.

Once we were finished walking around, we continued on to a hotel for lunch. We returned home and had time to go out to the pool for awhile. We went over to check on movie times and decided to see Firewall. Since there wasn’t a lot of time before it started, we decided to eat at KFC. The seats at the theatre ran us about $3 a piece and were at least as nice as what I would expect at a multiplex in the States. Depending upon the theatre, different levels of seating may be available. I was a little disappointed that our show time was in a theatre that offered “gold seating.” Gold seating resembles a plush recliner complete with pillow and blanket. Too bad airline seats aren’t that comfy! The movie wasn’t that great, but the experience of being in a theatre again was wonderful. I miss going to movies.

We finished up the day doing something we did quite often while in Bangkok, had ice cream at Swensen’s. :)
