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.
