Wat walking tour

A pretty good night’s sleep, despite the jungle fowl cockerel who didn’t know when dawn was, and excellent breakfast by the pool side. We met our guide, Kandi and a family of four from Michigan for a walking tour. We left by the rear entrance and had a quick lesson in Thai before finding the first of three temples (there are more than thirty in total). It being New Year’s Eve preparations were underway for celebrating tonight, with many lanterns, flags and prayer cards hung. Our guide was very illuminating and gave each of us a Bhudist character description based on birth day, much to the amusement of the family we were with.
For lunch we found a northern Thai cafe and had Khai Soy, vegetables or mushrooms which was delicious. Some more temples or ‘Wat’ followed before returning for a recuperative cup of tea and fruit which had been delivered.
While we were out the tables had been set for the banquet this evening and the band set up by the pool. All looks very special!Read more
