It would be a shame to keep this entry wordless. These pics were taken when hubby and I went to Bangkok the second time for a second honeymoon in December 2003. ;) The description before each pic was lifted from Bangkok Sawadee.com.
Wat Indravihan
Located in the Bang Khun Phrom area on Wisutkasat Road, this temple is well known for a huge standing Buddha image called Luang Pho To. The image, built in the reign of King Rama IV, is 32 meters tall and 10 meters wide. The topknot of the Buddha image contains a relic of Lord Buddha brought from Sri Lanka.

Wat Pho
This large and extensive temple neighbours the Grand Palace enclave on Thai Wang Road and contains a gigantic gold plated Reclining Buddha some 46 meters long and 15 meters high with inlaid mother of pearl soles. The temple is also regarded as the first center of public education and is sometimes called Thailand’s first university.

i’ve been wanting to go to Bangkok (well, Thailand for that matter) for so long, but having to come from the US, nanghihinayang ako na dun pumunta sa halip na dumirecho sa manila.
someday, hopefully!

Those are great shots and I’m glad you included the commentary to explain where you took them.
