Back in Thailand!!! My travel agent suggested that I take a three day layover, between New Zealand & Hong Kong. She said it would save me, literally hundreds of US dollars! Gee, let me think. The Thai people are some of the nicest people I've ever met, & it saves me money? The answer was obvious. I met some new friends this time & really hope to visit them in the near future!
Loha Prasat.
From the top of Loha Prasat, looking towards the temples below.
A slightly different view from the same balcony.
On the other side of Loha Prasat, you can see how many different temples arise from the city below.
Panning down for a closer view of the area.
A few Buddhas can be seen while descending through the temple.
It was a perfect day for walking around the city & viewing the sites!
I'm not sure what this temple is called, but I admired how the sky & temple looked together.
On my walk, I crossed the Klong San Sap.
This gentleman was nice enough to let me take his photo. He was planing a 2x8 piece of wood. I wish my camera could have detailed more, but he was too darn quick!
I'm trying to figure out if this photo was really taken from where my memory serves me. I believe it was taken at the base of Golden Mount Wat Saket. I think my Thai friend disagrees with me. Yet, she was kind enough to tell me that this was a memorial of sorts for the deceased.
At the beginning of the stairs, the trickling water was a calming invite. Can you see Buddha hiding under the top shelf?
After reaching the top, you could negotiate a number of different angles for great photo opportunities.
The temples continue below.
I decided to live it up this time & get a place with a pool! I think I threw out about $15 USD/night for a nice room & this roof top.
Quite a few foreigners frequent this area, Khao San Rd.
I was happy to see this car! Especially because I never see them in S. Korea, or at least the island I'm living on.I now admit that I've recently learned how to edit photos. So, this was an edited product of experimentation. I was going for an old school vs. restored look. I'm not sure, did it work?
This is another edited photo. Yet, the only alteration I made was to change the background to B&W.
