• The Bangkok Temples

    Nov 19–22, 2024 in Thailand ⋅ ☁️ 33 °C

    We arrived in Bangkok and caught a ferry to go see the Temples of Bangkok.
    The ferry was fun and in my opinion is the best way to travel around the city. It is very fast, there is no traffic and it's better than sitting in a car.
    When we got to the Grand Palace dad wasn't allowed in with his shorts so he bought a pair of long pants.

    I would say that it took decades or centuries to build because of the amount of details in the buildings. The Temples were massive and the Kings Palace is the equivalent to Buckingham Palace. It was like going to Disneyland because of the amount of people there. I didn't like being around that many people. Dad said that if he was running the show he would have a day when only Thai people can go in so they can enjoy their history and culture without all the annoying tourists.

    We caught the ferry to Wang Lang markets and had some crispy pork for lunch. There was lots of street food that I liked looking at.
    Our last stop was the reclining Buddha which is the biggest Buddha in Thailand. I reckon 15metres tall and 50metres long.
    The Temples were fascinating and great.
    The next day in Bangkok we caught the train to a shopping mall where we went to a trampoline park and had an all you can BBQ buffet. I ate lots of wagu steak, not the best you can get but still delicious.

    I had a great day with dad on our 3rd day in Bangkok because we went drain cover hunting in China Town for our new business idea. But I can't talk it about yet because someone might steal our idea. Watch this space!

    The house we are staying in is like a little apartment. I like it a lot. It's quirky.
    Bangkok has been something different. Lots of food markets and lots of adventure, but at the same time we have slowed down a bit and had a bit of rest too.
