Bangkok going in a bang

This was the scene of Bangkok a month ago. People were going about their business, the streets although jam but still there was law and order.



Soldiers drive their tanks on the road in Bangkok. Thailand's embattled government, humiliated by demonstrators who shut down a 16-nation Asian summit, declared a state of emergency in the capital Sunday in an attempt to stem the tide of protest across the country.

The violence are real. Let's hope this ends soon.

The 9 Sacred Places

The Sacred Sign Board
Wat Saket Create Auspicious Vision
Wat Pho Calmness in Happiness
Wat Arun Have a Prosperous Life


If you want to have a proseperous life, go to Wat Arun.
I want the good things in life! Wat Bowornniwet Vihan

Being in Bangkok you have to visit the magical 9 sacred places.
All the 9 sacred places have is different types of statues.
You can see alot of these Statues posing and serving different purposes.

The 'lat pei' Buddha. It's gold alright. Expensive dead skin. You can see people taking paper or tissue to wipe this statue.

The asian Hulk. Don't make it mad.

Now this... just look at it.

This is scary. Why? Do look closely and you'll find it's actually a small guy with cat's eyes.

Meow...

Ho ho

In ancient Thai, mean looking guards look after the entrance point.

Look how fierce and big their swords are. This statue is huge.




Fast forward to modern times we have the men in white.

Look how times have change.
Now this guy he just stays there under the hot sun not moving an inch.

Respect.

Relax only. You want a tummy pray to this guy.





If not how about this.

Raise that arm.
