After some days doing nothing at Koh Samui we headed back to busy Bangkok, not just for one night, but for four. This time we mainly walked the streets of the old town and Chinatown.
First we went to see the giant reclining Buddha in Wat Pho.
In the park around the tempe there were also all kinds of statues and pillars, which are very typical for temples at least here in Bangkok.
5,5 tonns of solid gold. The Buddha, of course. This is located in Wat Traimit, near Chinatown.
Here's an example of how the thais organize their electrics. We were surprised there weren't more power breaks in the city. They were quite common on the islands, though.
As we have pointed out earlier, there's a lot of cats and dogs running free in Thailand. Here's one "selling" coffee.
One night when we strolled down the streets of Bangkok old town we happened to stumble over some kind of street food festival. Unfortunately we had just eaten, but we sat down for a while to watch an artistic thai movie about the problems of plastic waste. The movie was really fun and well made and somehow reminded us of Amélie.
Lumphini Park is perhaps the most famous park in Bangkok. There's an artificial lake in the middle of the park where you can rent swanboats for only 40 bath / 30 min.
Last but not least an example of how great thais are for coming up with ways to earn money. Here's a pre-wedding STD-test package. Thais sure are very romantic.
