Bangkok city, Thailand - June 26-July 2, 2014 - Big city cats.
 |
| Curry and chili paste. |
 |
| The best thing we did was tour around the canals of Western Bangkok with Pandan Tours. I usually don't do tours or tour guides or any of that, but this was really good, and Tao our guide was great. Check them out at www.thaicanaltour.com |
 |
| It is pleasant riding around the khlongs. |
 |
| A temple was ahead, and I had never seen any temple like this before. |
 |
| Then Tao told me it was this big white building across the way. |
 |
| Inside lay extravagant riches, hundreds of millions of dollars worth of loot. |
 |
| Notice the fruit in the upper corners, that ripens (upper middle) every 1000 years into a beautiful woman (lower). |
 |
| The fruit ripening. |
 |
| When the fruit is fully ripe it is time for the male angels to eat it. |
 |
| This is another temple from a different sect of the Sangha; the forest sect.As you can see the interior of this sect seems much less materialistic. |
 |
| Monks study. |
 |
| At another temple we were lucky enough to witness these two massive turtles shagging. |
 |
| Second take! How sacrilegious! |
 |
| Thai-style noodles. |
 |
| Pandan farm. |
 |
| It returns! |
