Bangkok August 2007

Bangkok the capital of Thailand is a modern metropolitan that can offer tourist so much if you know what to find. We were there for a week and we really enjoyed it. In the middle of Bangkok lies the mighty Chao Praya River which is the soul of the city and sacred to many locals. Bangkok has so many awe-inspiring and glittering temples and palaces like no other places in the world. The variety of market are just splendid and more than enough to satisfy your hunger for shopping. The unique culture and tradition, friendly inhabitants and delicious world renowned cuisines makes it really hard to resist for tourist to not to come back again and again. Welcome to the City of Angel!

The temple of Wat Arun or the locals calls it Wat Chaeng (Temple of The Dawn).

This is Wat Pho temple, which is famous for its huge reclining buddha. It is the largest temple in Bangkok. Stunning!

See how huge the buddha is compare to us.

Just a random picture from The Grand Palace compound.

Wat Phra Kaew (the Emerald Buddha) See the intricate details of the craftsmanship. It will blown you away!!!

Two massive guards called Yaksa Tavarnbal( Gate Keeping Giants) guarding the balcony.

It will be strange if we didn't see a glimpse of any buddhist monk in Thailand. So there they are!!

The majestic Grand Palace. What a stunning building!

Chatuchak Market in Bangkok. We definitely need a GPS to explore this huge market next time hehe..... You need at least 2 days to explore every corner of the market. There are tones of variety of different things you can buy here ranging from clothing, craft, painting, gadget, food, furniture and the list is endless........ we love it!!!

The local police officers look really smart with segways.

My lovely wife look really proud with her new hand tailored coat. The price is really reasonable in Bangkok. Saya cintakan kamu!!
