Huevos is only open for breakfast, so the name fits.  They have indoor seating and an outdoor deck on the roof.  The place was empty when I arrived and was seating quickly.  I ordered the scramble eggs with chorizo and avocado.  While it did taste good, the portion was small.  However, I did go for an early morning hike then to Huevos, so I was pretty hungry.  If you like to try different breakfast restaurants, Huevos is not a bad option to add to the rotation of places to eat.

The Coffee Pot Restaurant is a mainstay in Sedona.  One  of the older restaurants around, popular with locals and tourist alike.  I have eaten here many times over the years.  It’s a spacious place with plenty of seating.  Actually more seating than they have parking for.  I always arrive very early to start my day and eat a good breakfast for the days’ adventure.  The Coffee Pot has an extensive menu that is set up as a newspaper with over 100 variety of omelettes.

I ordered two scrambled eggs with Chorizo.  This was delicious and a very generous portion.  The Omelettes are made with three eggs and I never would have finished the meal.  I was happy with my choice.

Each time I visit Sedona I eat at the Coffee Pot at least once.  Great breakfast!

Wat Traimit is the location of the world’s largest gold Buddha. Known as Sukhothai Traimit Gold Buddha, it stands over 15 feet in height and has a 12 feet diameter. The Buddha is made of solid good weighing 5.5 tons. At today’s gold price that is about $38.5 million.

The statue is over 700 hundred years old. While this Buddha was always known to be an important figure because of it’s instillation as the principle Buddha at Wat Phrayakrai, it was only in 1955 that it was discovered to be made of gold. This however happened by accident. This Buddha had been covered in plaster to hide the fact it was gold from invading army’s many years ago. When the Buddha was be prepared to move to its new location, a piece broke off revealing the fact it was made of gold. If they were more careful in 1955, we may never had found this out.

This is a small shop on Sukhumvit at the corner of Soi 8. Although it is small and not flashy, they still provide a quality foot massage which is what I went there for. I can tell the quality of the massage based on if I fall asleep, how fast and for how long. It is a peaceful setting with relaxing music playing softly in the back round. I’d say I fell asleep about 20 minutes in and woke with about 10 minutes left. Not bad.
I selected one hour for 300 Baht. I would go here again if convenient but there are so many places in Bangkok, nothing really stood out to separate them from the rest.

Address: Corner of Sukhumvit and Soi 8

The monument is located in the Ratchathewi District and is one of the major transportation hubs in Bangkok. The monument is a large obelisk that was erected in the middle of a major round about intersection. The BTS Skytrain has a station here by the same name and the rail circles around the monument.

It was erected in 1941 to commemorate the victory of the short-lived Franco-Thai war. This war was only from late 1940 to early 1941 with Thailand winning every battle decisively. Japan brokered the deal to end the war which gave land back to Thailand that was then part of Cambodia and Vietnam. Interestingly, much of this was given back in 1945 after victory over Japan in World War II.  Today, the outskirts of the roundabout is lined with stalls of clothes and home goods where local Thai shop. There are also many buses and vans taking people to outlying cities and beach towns.

Directions: Take the Skytrain to Victory Monument station. If you arrive from the Bearing direction turn left when you walk down from the train level. Do not go down to street level. There is a elevated walkway that give the best view of the monument.
