                    <description>I have visited the main Angkor temples before and looked forward to seeing them again. The Bayon is my favourite because of the stunning sculpturestone work of the many faces and towers. It really does take your breath away and we sat in a corner of the complex for quite a while just admiring and taking in the sight in front of us. Angkor Wat is truly amazing and we spent at least three hours the</description>

I like to take a cruise on the Chao Phraya express boat to the Grand Palace and walk around that area for one afternoon. The streets are always busy with tourists and there are some nice parks to view before catching the boat for the return journey. Lumphini Park is also a favourite place for walking and exercise near</description>

                    <description>Songkran Festival April 1215 is the traditional Thai New Year. This is the time for Thais to pay homage to Buddha images clean their houses and sprinkle water on their elders in a show of respect. Anyone who ventures out on the streets is likely to get a thorough dousing of water all in good fun but also quite welcome at the peak of the hot season.   httpwww.swp.in.thsongkran.html</description>

                    <description>After a one and a half hour drive to the Thai  Cambodia border to visit Prasat Khao Phra Wihan we found there would be no access on that day. The famous temple located strategically on top of a mountain overlooking Cambodia has been a point of conflict for many years. On the day that I decided to visit the temple some Thai and Cambodian troops had a standoff in the nearby area and it was decid</description>

My legs are still recovering from all the walking and climbing but it was an unforgettable day.

This was my first visit to Ubon which is a large city in the east close to Cambodia and part of Isaan my favorite region of Thailand.

I started in Bangkok and since I have been called a butterfly  I thought I had better go and see a park famous for it39s butterflies.  The Butterfly Garden is part of the Queen Sirikit Park in Mochit. It is easily accessed by the BTS skytrain.

                    <description>I did not feel much like traveling too far so I spent my time with friends around Pattaya and Bangkok on this visit to Thailand.

                    <description>A New Day BeginsThis trip to Thailand has been filled with every emotion.
