How many Rotarians can you fit in a tuk-tuk?

Unlike previous missions, we started this one with a day of relaxation and sightseeing . This was partly due to the long trip to get here but mainly to wait for the Rotary International Convention to conclude. Those of us not attending the convention were able to see the top Bangkok attractions. We started with the Shrine of the Golden Buddha.

Shoes cannot be worn inside a temple so shoe bags are provided to carry your shoes along. There is also a strict dress code that forbids shorts above the knee or bare shoulders.

We then endured a cross-city trip in Bangkok traffic (impending gridlock)to see the Grand Palace and Shrine of the Reclining Buddha.

We ended the evening with dinner at Hard Rock Bangkok. After dinner we realized that we had not made arrangements for the hotel van to pick us up for the return trip, so we hired tuk-tuks. A tuk-tuk is a three-wheeled open air "taxi" (think golf cart on steroids). The trip weaving in and out of Bangkok traffic in this cart was exhilarating ! And the answer is ... 4 Rotarians can be wedged into a tuk-tuk.
