Spent an afternoon walking the grounds of Gyeongbokgung Palace | @gyeongbokgung_palace_official, where there was just about zero refuge from the sun.

The observation deck of N Seoul Tower has the distance to major cities marked on the glass. Managed to get a shot of just about every city I’ve visited so far in my travels (missed the SF/Chicago window) but there’s one in this post that I’ve yet to visit but will hit later this year. Can you guess which one?

Spent my first afternoon in Seoul walking through Namsan Park and up Mt. Namsan, finishing it off by taking in the views of the city from N Seoul Tower. 1/

A nice stroll through ChangChui Creative Park | @changchuibkk to round out my time in Bangkok. 2/2

Last stop in Bangkok was at ChangChui Creative Park | @changchuibkk where there is a night market with a plane smack dab in the center of it all. Alas, I was there during the day and didn’t get to go into the plane. Next time! 1/

Finding myself with some time to kill before a taproom opened, I took a stroll through Wat Suthat Thep Wararam.

Just a few swelteringly hot km away from The Grand Palace is Wat Pho where, yeah, there is one massive Buddha.
