Wats (Temples) of Bangkok

Today was site seeing day in Bangkok. We went to several temples including one with a 150ft reclining Buddah at Wat Pho It was incredibly moving to be in the space and experience as people meditated and paid homage. 


While the reclining Buddah is most popular with tourists this smaller, more opulent Buddah is more spiritually important. There was a field trip of kids as well as several monks there with us. 

Our last stop of the day was the Wat Arun with a massive tower and ornate carvings. 

This hiking and riding in ornately de heated vans was exhausting, so a poolside nap was required. 

We completed the night with a river boat dinner tour.
