Where in the World is Gumbo? #40

To answer some of the questions raised and hopefully move this along, here's some new info:

 

1) Jonathan L, of these two countries is correct.  But we need something more specific than that.

2)  Mac, you are one of the most traveled people I know so I believe you'd recognize any roof you'd seen before.   And it is close to a major river

3) PHeymont, it's in a large city

 

So where exactly is Gumbo?

Ah but then it would have to be in one of the 2 countries mentioned by Jonathan L - n'est pas, mon ami? (sorry, my Hercule Poirot mode.... :-)  ). Looks a bit like this roof in my pic attached - might I be close? Might Wat Pho describe it adequately?

Mac and Andre Pur, you guys are just too smart.  Puzzle solved!

 

This is indeed Wat Pho, the temple of the giant reclining Buddha in Bangkok.

 

We'll have a full discussion of this along with a new puzzle posted Saturday morning.
