The Tourist - In and around Bangkok


There are some beautiful places in and around Bangkok and here are just a few of them

The Palace Gardens




Remember there is a dress code for here

They do love their elephants in Thailand



So do we



Buy flowers
 Take a boat ride


Visit the Jim Thompson house...no I'd never heard of him either 

 visit some of the many temples
 or the Buddha growing in a tree
 or the giant gold Buddha
or the happy Buddha
or the lying down Buddha

I think my favorite place was the war memorial, it was a real surprise, beautifully maintained and very respectful 



5 minutes further down the road from the war memorial is the Bridge over the river Kwai



I can't see these catching on back in the UK
