Sight Seeing

This was the day I really got out sight seeing. I went to "Wat Phra Kaew" also known as the Temple of the Emerald Buddha. This was one of the most amazing places i have ever been. filled with buildings or statues covered total by mosaics (glass, tiles & gold flakes) color was everywhere. This area is adjoined to the "Great Palace" this was the former residence of the monarch, also amazing. Then we made our way down to "Wat Pho" this place has the largest collections of Buddha in Thialand (we are talking thousands) and the Largest reclining Buddha. This reclining Buddha is quit a sight it's 15m tall and 46m long and covered in gold leaf.
I just want to restate what I said in a earlier message, the food here is great.

Cheers
Tim
