On our first full day in Bangkok we started our morning with a temple tour. We saw three different temple complexes. They were incredible in the sheer size and detail.
There were literally dozens of sculptures.
Some of the bonsai trees were 800 years old!
Everything was beautifully maintained.
Just imagine the gold and precious gems! Although our guide told us some of the precious metals and gems have been replaced with just as pretty but cheaper option as they were disappearing.
We took a little boat across the canal to get to the temple on the other side of
The Temple of the Reclining Buddha has one of the largest reclining buddhas in the world, measuring over 150 feet in length.
It was a great tour with so much information my head was spinning.
Our guide was really good at group shots.
Cheers
