yes! i'm back :) i had a pretty amazing work trip to bangkok. amidst the "work" i manage to eat a lot (courtesy of a fabulous host who we met there :), see a couple of places, do a tinzy winzy bit of shopping and capture some amazing pictures :))
temples ... were pretty amazing ... their beauty is awe-inspiring!
wat po ("wat" meaning temple) - this is a temple that has both thai and chinese influences. this is also where the local masseurs come to learn their craft, as the temple houses one of the oldest massage center and school.
sunset temple - located just by the chao praya river, a lovely place for evening walks.
food! glorious food!
local arts & crafts ... the thai people are amazingly creative!
(all the photos in this section were taken by my other half ... i was too busy looking at stuff!)

ReplyDeleteMassage lessons in temples? I can't see that happening in the Church of England!!
ReplyDeleteThe chopsticks look like you've been at them with your pimping - is that a mobile phone charm I spot there?
