Bangkok Day 1


We arrived in Bangkok 1am on Sunday morning. We dove right in that morning. Here we are having breakfast that we got from some street vendors. Things of note: mystery meat from the BBQ place, sticky rice in a bag (also from BBQ place), the best pineapple we have ever had, and no breakfast is complete with out a bag of soda, right? Welcome to Bangkok.

This is the Doxology Thailand team (minus Peter and myself) Sunday morning before heading for church. The area we are gathered at is one of the areas we would later do improvements on for the YWAM ministry we stayed with.

This is looking towards the balcony on the fourth floor where we stayed. We stayed with a ministry of YWAM call Bon Jai Diou (BJD). It is basically a Christian dorm style home for 26 Thai university students. It provides inexpensive housing for students, who hear about BJD from their friends. Students do not need to be Christian in order to live here, though a majority of them are.

This is an ally way in the BJD neighborhood, just to give some perspective of where we lived.

We are on our way to church, via a truck taxi. These were our main mode of transportation, very nice in the 100 degree weather.
