ViaggiatoreReally loving these wats! Where to next? I’ve forgotten? I have found your walking footprints! Fascinating 🤨
ViaggiatoreIt's fascinating to see the ruins, after seeing the newer Wats previously. They would have been decorated similarly, but I think they look beautiful as they are now. We are going to Chiang Mai next, its a 9 hour train journey tomorrow. Lots to see there too, hopefully some elephants as well! Haha It's funny to see where we have been, it looks so erratic xx
ViaggiatoreI agree, I love seeing nature take back and the mix of buildings and roots is amazing. Fingers crossed for elephants 🐘!! Hopefully your train is better than the last one 🤞🏻
