Today in Bangkok was to visit temples as many has told me the Grand Palace is place should not be missed and true enough it was a magnificent architecture. I wonder how did they build it at that time. But my first stop was Wat Po which is the temple of the reclining buddha and surely it was a big temple with many cheti around the temple and my mode of transportation was by boat which was quite a nice journey as I get to go along the Chao Praya river was the boat service was pretty good. So my first stop was the Wat Po. Then it was off to The Grand Palace but that was the day which The King Of Thailand change the attire of the Emerald Buddha which was auspicious day so which I had to reroute to other temples which I went to the Marble Temple which was located not far mode of transport was Tuk-Tuk was it is fun. After visiting the Marble Temple, while I was at the Marble Temple there was a offering ceremony given to the monk which I think it was a occasion for the monks after months of preparing of becoming an monk to receive their kasa and officially wear the orange kasa. I was off to see the Grand Palace. Surely was a spectacular view which shows some great architecture of Thailand and surely was a WOW factor. Which from there I wanted to head to Wat Arun aka Temple of Dawn but I was too tired and the sun was setting which had me heading back to the hotel.
