I was surprised to see that Buddhist bibles are placed in the bedside draw. Just like a Gideon's bible. Really is an amazing read ! Full of proverbs like : "A man who commits adultery likes licking jam off a sharp knife !"

Even the furniture is lovely...and I'm glad to see they have not abandoned their card catalog. I love computer searches, but I would never want to lose years and years of librarians' and patrons' notes on those cards...

What an elegant building. Like stepping back in time 100 years! Thanks for sharing this special place with everyone!

Lovely photos and blog Karl. Refreshed my delightful memories of our visit there. One other word of advice for the end of your tour is to visit the Massage School which is in the temple complex and have a relaxing and rejuvenating massage - feet or more depending on time available.

Incredible!

It's an amazing place, Mac. I've visited it four times and would go back the next time as well. Your photos do it great justice. They only thing they don't capture is the heat and humidity!

I've looked at your photos 10 separate times already and each time I look I'm more amazed!What a sight!

Well thank you, esteemed Gurus! It is just SO photogenic and almost surreal in its beauty and exotic creatures. A continual "trip" to experience. And how do you ever truly capture the "essence" of the temple.... Just keep trying I guess....

  MasterCard Global Destinations Index   Based on projections for the rest of this year, London is again claiming victory over arch-rivals Paris and Bangkok for the title of most-visited city. It's held the honor 5 times in 7 years,...

Water-up those taste buds! Stephanie Kalina-Metzger takes us on a food tour in the Bronx that makes you wish tagged along!

Chiang Mai is located in the Northern area of Thailand capital city, Bangkok. It takes 1-hour journey by plane from Bangkok to Chiang Mai or about 8 hours by bus. The government intentionally prepares Chiang Mai for tourism purpose. The city is well arranged, and it has some artificial rivers. Many trees are planted along the road. Chiang Mai certainly has many interesting tourism objects to visit such as elephant training camp, orchid park, Thai silk, waterfalls and many more. Elephant Camp...

One of the most vibrant and dynamic cities in South-East Asia, Bangkok assaults the senses with colour, noise and aromas.

Thank you Marilyn.

Excellent post!!

Walking around Bangkok, PHeymont encountered a number of vehicles well-established in their probably permanent places.

PortMoresby returns to a house & garden not seen since her first visit to Bangkok more than 20 years ago.

This article was very interesting, thank you.

Fantastic colorful photos and descriptions. Well Done.

PortMoresby stays for a second time in Bangkok Noi, the city’s left bank on the west side of the Chao Phraya River and enjoys it even more.

In her ongoing quest to see interesting corners of Bangkok, PortMoresby finds an ancient house on a back lane of Talat Noi.

After a visit to Bangkok’s upscale Jim Thompson House, PortMoresby seeks out another house museum, highlighting a more modest way of life.

Thailand's Royal Barge Museum is a showcase of both art and tradition

Where’s that, most people asked when I told them we were off to Laos.  And that about sums up the attraction -- I like getting off the beaten track, at home and abroad. 

The TG audience has become very proficient at solving our travel puzzles!  One of Bangkok's great temple complexes.

Amongst the most magnificent sights in Bangkok is the Wat Phra Kaew temple, or the Temple of the Jade Buddha. It is a riot of gilded and colorful figures in a very concentrated area within the grounds of the King's Grand Palace in Bangkok.

On a quiet side street in the Silom district of this dynamic Southeast Asian capital is a peaceful oasis which, after a number of visits to the city, I only found by accident. 

 Wat Pho is the Temple of the Reclining Buddha statue in Bangkok, adjoining the Grand Palace in Phra Nakhon district.  This statue generally is thought to represent the dying Buddha, about to attain Nirvana.
