this is an excellent thread, we will be there for 1 day, and i can't wait to visit some of the places mentioned. We should be out and about by 1130am (provided the taxi from the airport is smooth). So I'd think a river cruise to start it off, and then the grand palace and wat pho, and conclude the dinner at the state tower for a view of the city should be no rush. Of course, we will try to squeeze in more if we can. But we have to catch a 8am flight the next day....
