Bangkok,Thailand-Flowers,Wat Arun 4 of 4

Pak Khlong Talat , Flower Market, Wild KHAOSAN ROAD and Temple of Dawn The 24/7 flower market, where the two sides of the street are covered with flower stores and booths where flower arrangements are being made from fresh flowers. One side of the street are the religious (yellow) flowers and the other side are every other flower you could ever imagine. Yes, beautiful roses were $2 for a dozen and most bouquets were $3-$4 US.

Don't miss Karen eating BUGS (silkworm pupa) and the video of Khaosan Road where you could buy anything from Bugs, Laughing Gas and "more". We did stop (see video) to have some fabulous roti for dessert.

We then got to explore Wat Arun (The Temple of the Indian God of Dawn) one of Bangkok's most famous and busiest Temples, but at night when no one else was there! Wat Arun has been a Buddhist Temple since the 16th Century, the time of the Ayutthaya Kingdom. The temple was shown in French maps during the reign of Narai (1656–88). It was quite beautiful at night and the details are incredible (see photos).En savoir plus
