The Temple Tour

The Standing Buddha
This Buddha was pretty impressive

Where the Lucky Buddha resides
I did get to see Lucky but as soon as I left they shut the doors. A monk inside told me they were 'very, very busy'.

Kitten
There was tons of cats at the temple and this little guy was just chilling out.

Rama VIII Bridge
The river was very muddy, perhaps from the monsoons.

Golden figures
These surround the temple, inside is an impressive array of Buddhas and paintings although no photos were allowed

Joy
This is to show how big the golden temple is, as well as show off the beautiful outfit they had me wear since my clothing was deemed inappropriate

orchids
I.ve just looked at that glorious picture of the orchids and the colours just amaze me. They are so wonderful. I think there must be colours over there that we don't see round home. I think I need to go back to the orchid growing again after that lot!
