On Tuesday morning we went for a walk near the river on Silom Road. It was very chaotic 🙄.
We had a lot of Thai street food. We had Pad Thai with Chicken and Stir-Fried Chicken with Cashew Nuts.
We also went to the Assumption Cathedral which is one of the oldest Catholic churches in Bangkok. In front of the cathedral, there is a statue of Pope John Paul II.
On Wednesday we went by an express boat to see Wat Phra Kaew and the Grand Palace. There were a lot of brilliant decorations on the temple with golden elements.
Every temple had an image or statue of Buddha. The Grand Palace is a place where ceremonies are held in the king’s honour. The king’s former residence was there. We also went to two museums. One about the queen’s clothes and the other about the king.
We also went to Wat Pho Temple with Bangkok’s largest Reclining Buddha.  I wonder how long it would take to build? The temple was very impressive!
We watched some very interesting ceremony in the temple!
On Thursday we visited Wat Traimit temple which has the biggest Buddha made of gold in the world. The interesting thing was also the temple itself.
Later we went to busy streets of China Town. We had lunch there with Coconut milk to drink. The food was great!
We also enjoyed watching the crocodiles in Wat Chakrawarachawat temple. There were three reptiles and they all opened their mouths. It was a bit scary…
…we also met a local monk there.
After almost 5 weeks we are heading back home to Australia. It is the end of my holidays but I really miss my dog and want to go back to school. See you all on Monday!
