Bangkok,Thailand-Street Food Feast 3of 4

Wongwian Yai area and Chinatown Dinner on the Streets!, Walking and stopping to see the Buddha and Temples that marks the exact center of Chinatown. We also passed Wat Traimit - the Worlds Biggest solid gold Buddha discovered 65 years ago when in the process of moving it a crane dropped it and the plaster/concrete covering broke off. It was discovered that to "protect it from Burmese invaders that rummaged in the area during a siege in the late sukhotjai period", this 12 foot, 5.5 ton Buddha. This 14th Century Buddha, finally revealed in 1954 is worth over $325 million in 18 carat gold.

Then off again on our Tuk Tuk to the Flower District.Weiterlesen
