Buddah exhaustion or the God is in the details

Four days in Bangkok passed momentarily, we came out to conquer the temples and visited floating markets. Exhausted from the extensive day wonderings, evenings were spent in between high class bars for drinks and street markets for food. Occasionally passing by Patpong market-the red light district of Bangkok, we got to know about all the possible tricks one can do with his male/female distingwishers................................We escaped right away!

taking boat express to the temples:


The Grand palace and the Emerald Buddah .

Emerald Buddah is the most valued temple in Bangkok located on the grounds of the grand Palace which history dates back to 17th-18th -the fall of Ayuthaia kingdom and the rise of a new one by Rama I at the location of a nowdays Bangkok . The Emerald Buddah temple was purposely build by king Rama I to house a Buddha image carved from a large solid piece of green jadite (jasper). Too small to see on the pic ,but this is what it is about.

The land of smiles makes you smile

On the first day of our arrival to the "City of Angels" the Fabulous Journey decided to do nothing but indulge in a nice spa and rest. And since honeymooners usually get all the possible upgrades, treats and amenities, indeed, everything was fabulous.

few observations:

It is winter and it is 85F- how do u people, live through summer??
Everybody is smiling at us -is that because we are so white and tall? :)
Fruits are delicious, kinds are endless, we don't know them all - our pick: Passion fruit
We start to see our friend Jintana in every second thai person we look at ..!

Sawadeeka!

Fly Nippon if u can

While boarding on ANA airplane we didn't expect anything, but a horrible 25 hour flight to Bangkok. And we were pleasantly surprised-this was the best flight of our lives. Space-huge, Food-awesome! Technology-Japanese!!Chairs-the Most Comfortable! Staff couldn't be better!!! The stewardesses were so sweet that we couldn't help but smile and even laugh back at them for the whole flight-they also changed outfits while serving food!!
This wasn't the end of our Japanese adoration- the Narita airport in Tokio with 3 hour flight connection, was a trip in itself. Super clean, super polite, super efficient, super tasty. From this moment on , we can't wait to go back there for a longer trip!Origato, Irashimaya!!
