Thailand Part 6


 

 

Next we took the express boat to the other side of the river.  
The temple there is called Wat Arun which means the Temple of Dawn.  We climbed up the stairs.
And walked around.  We took the express boat back to the Grand Palace area.
Wat Pho is the temple located just next to the Grand Palace.  
Inside people pray to Buddha.
It is most famous for its giant golden reclining Buddha which is 150 feet long and covered in gold leaf.  
The feet are inlaid with mother-of-pearl.
Visitors donate to the temple.

 

In the afternoon, we went for a short swim after having been so hot all day.  It was finally too hot outside for me.  In the evening we had Thai food for dinner, then walked along  busy Silom Street.  Blankets and tables were set out on the sidewalks with vendors selling DVDs, T shirts and handbags.  I bought some hairclips and the only options for the butterfly clips were Louis Vuitton, Christian Dior and Chanel.  Which one should I wear on Canal Street?
