BANGKOK DAY 5: PART 1

 This was a lovely day in Bangkok. The weather was cool not as hot and sunny, which made it a lovely day for sight seeing. The first stop was the temple of the golden Buddha where we saw the Buddha made out of solid gold. This was a lovely day with a lot of pictures which had to be divided into several different post.  

The front entrance to the temple



Tourist need to buy tickets for viewing the golden Buddha...... 40 Baht will get you in.

The beautiful temple is all handcrafted and decorated over a period of years 


 The praying Buddha
The walking Buddha; he happen to be a symbol for moving forward, so those who are about to do final examination, or promotions come here to pray for its blessings.


As you exit the temple you get a glimpse of the Monk quarters were they stay in the temple compound.
Next we head to the temple of the Residing Buddha but as we head there we pass through China town Bangkok, where they getting ready to prepare for the the Chinese new year.

BANGKOK DAY 4


Today we went to the a different mall called Emporium and Central world. I took no pictures at emporium, and took most at Central world. We take the train to most of these place, which was amazing and as we get to see a lot sights along the way.
The day in pictures. 
The only temple in the new town area....

Monks hard at work
Some early morning worshipers....
                                     

The police head quarter is BIG.


You can see the Siam Paragon from Central World but its far, do not be fooled when they tell u its a "stone through away from there".... It not and if you are not healthy on your feet or simply unfit, a Taxi from the Siam station is advisable.

BANGKOK DAY 3






They say, "If the hand fits you are goin to be a star.......", and it did not, sob, sob! I better just study hard.


Got this jacket @ Zara could help but snap a pic.




 Had some beef noodles......yuuuuuuuuuuuum


This was yet another lovely day spent at the mall (Siam Paragon). The highlight of the day was meeting Steven Gerald at the mall @MadameToussaud Bangkok. Apparently I was taking pictures with the enemy as my boyfriend is a Manchester United fan.... oops, sorry George.
  After a long day of shopping, mum and I went to have dinner at the Food passage on 4th which is said to be on the list of best restaurants in  Bangkok, the area is a combination of 12 other restaurants with a combination of foods that range from Thai, to India, to Italian, to international cuisines, etc the sky and your wallet ;) are the limit .
