The difference between the slopes of Hokkaido and the streets of bangkok is striking to say the least. Apart from the difference in temperature of about 50 degrees, it is a lot crazier and Chris compared it to a slightly less chaotic version of Kathmandu. After exploring the centre for a couple days, we are both keen to head south to the Andaman coast famous for it's beautiful beaches and easy lifestyle.
In the meantime, here are a couple pictures taken inside Wat Phra Kaew, the emerald buddha pavilion complex which is a slightly psychedelic collection of heavily ornamented monuments celebrating a small but revered statue of buddha, sculpted out of jade.
Utterly dazzling pix and it's such a luxury for this Cowtowner to have them at her fingertips upon awaking.
ReplyDeleteEn même temps ça fait un peu penser aux sculptures de la Fête du Citron à Menton.
