Bangkok Photos

Alright, gang, I have a lot more photos than this, but the internet connection at this cafe is a bit iffy, and it's taking too long to upload them. I'm going to try again later. Until then, enjoy this teaser...


A giant, standing, gold Buddha the name of which I can't remember. The people at the bottom should give it some scale. A fellow standing at the entrance was charging ten baht (about a quarter) for the opportunity to release some songbirds from a cage, thereby increasing your spiritual karma and luck.


Wat Arun, a Buddhist temple named after the Indian god of dawn, as viewed during my boat ride down Mae Nam Chao Phraya (the main river through Bangkok).




The (in)famous Khao San Road.
