Visiting Wat Pho

Today we visited Wat Pho temples, home of the very big reclining Buddha. The size of the reclining Buddha is quite overwhelming and incredibly rich and the old paintings on the walls are quite amazing. It's always a nice serene and spiritual experience when you are surrounded by many temples and shrines to Buddha as well as hearing monks chant in the background, despite the huge number of people also here visiting.

It was really nice to take the boat on the river of Bangkok. It's where we also see a huge amounts of development which has happened, with huge hotel chains with fancy modern buildings next to old wooden Thai houses on stilts. Taking the river boat also reminds us of what a nice city Bangkok can also be :)Read more
