Wat Arun
Vimanmerk - Kings Mansion
With street sellers
Day-2 and last day in bangkok, had to cover some of the important places today with my friends. First one is the GRAND PALACE. This place is really a must see, rich in its ornamental beauty and the architecture, details, statues really amazing! We went around the palace with dropping jaws and blinking eyes partly because of the beauty of the palace and partly because of the good tourist figures ... :-)
Next WAT ARUN, a big comedy happened here. At the entrance of the WAT we saw a effigy painted like a traditional thai, with a hole at the head, so that we can insert ours and take a picture. Once we saw this we got very excited and all my friends popped their head inside the hole, i shot the picture. After everything, silently a women walked to us and asked us 120Batt......Oh my god! we didn't notice at the bottom of each effigy saying 40Batt...... take a look at this 120batt worth picture........ hehehe....
Wat Arun was also interesting, this is the only temple with a different type of architecture from the rest which were usually slanted brick roofed with chao fa ends. This one was GOPURAM(don't know how to say in english) type. It was huge and very steep to climb.
Then to VIMANMERK, a mansion where all the kings of thailand lived, it is the biggest wooden mension ever build in the world. Also interesting to see the riches of the king.
Bored by all the WATs, in the evening we went roaming around the streets. The streets were really bustling with tourists, road side shops selling souveniors and paintings, massage spas, pull carts selling local thai delicacies. Our bangkok trip came to a grand end with tranditional thai food and a snooker game.
