Bangkok 22 Nov

It was an early start to get to the airport for our flight to Singapore then home.

A temple inside Bangkok airport

Not our plane

But this one was

Singapore airport display

We had a bit of a layover so ate


An went through the immersive Monet display








I'm part of it!




Our plane waiting for us to board

And here she is safely back in Brisbane.

Bangkok 21 Nov

We started out with a fairly vague plan of taking the train back to town, and looking at a local park. 

There are little personal temples even in backyards

And tiny lanes zig-zagging everywhere

Municipal buildings even have small temples

Another trip on this lovely train

We passed this temple on the way to the park

Chatachuk Park

There are a lot of rules!




I really liked the way they hid the rubbish bins inside these hedges so they didn't spoil the park


I think this says "Health Garden - Honor for Lent"


Royal family members
















These sculptures were a surprise







And some live animals

The flower of the Cannonball tree


More royals



I went in to Wat Pho temple, while Darryl waited for me outside














This Buddha is BIG! So big he has to lie down to fit in his temple


And there were some little happy buddhas too!

Free water for the overheated




Outside the Grand Palace (we didn't go in)

Ministry of Defence Hall









Food at Thammasat University Tha Phra Chan

Then the ferry back to near the train station

We decided that we'd go for a Tai Massage and chose Bunbura Massage just behind the markets

Getting a good foot soak first


And nice and relaxed afterwards! (I think she's laughing at us behind that mask)
