PART 3: Back on the road - South East Asia.
 

 flag   Route Map     Bangkok, Thailand   »  October 22, 2010

Next day and more exciting things. Today was a temple day. Not a big one, but I took a few good photos there. It wa exciting! I was lucky that they had some celebrations there and many monks and had been visiting the temple. I guess the pictures will speak for themselves. Enjoy.

Bangkok - Thailand

Photo:  Bangkok, Thailand → The temple I am talking about. At first looks just normal.

Bangkok - Thailand

Photo:  Bangkok, Thailand → I have noticed that there is more than usual traffic there - an invitation to explore.

Bangkok - Thailand

Photo:  Bangkok, Thailand → The monks coming in. Something's definitely going on.

Bangkok - Thailand

Photo:  Bangkok, Thailand → And the monks coming out. I asked what's the special event but I forgot what it was. Would it really make a difference? I guess not. I just enjoyed the views.

Photo:  Bangkok, Thailand → Zoominng in on the crowd in orange robes...

Bangkok - Thailand

Photo:  Bangkok, Thailand → The monks sat there for a while and chatted waiting for the rest to come out.

Bangkok - Thailand

Photo:  Bangkok, Thailand → Then they left.

Bangkok - Thailand

Photo:  Bangkok, Thailand → There were some older and younger monks mingling. I was lucky to capture what seemed like three generation in one picture. What's also interesting is that the robes can have quite different colors, ranging from washed out almost brown to bright orange. I wonder if there is any meaning to it.

Bangkok - Thailand

Photo:  Bangkok, Thailand → Another look at the temple - someone stays in.

Bangkok - Thailand

Photo:  Bangkok, Thailand → These stone sculptures just outside the tmeple look real very real and capture the mood of what's going on inside.

Bangkok - Thailand

Photo:  Bangkok, Thailand → On the way back to my hotel I went to yet another temple. I love this photo.

Bangkok - Thailand

Photo:  Bangkok, Thailand → The people inside...

Bangkok - Thailand

Photo:  Bangkok, Thailand → People sit here on carpets around the area where the ceremonies take place.

I guess I can call it 'another day in Bangkok'. For many people, visiting, Bangkok is a place to party. For me it is more serene. I have been here some years ago, and it is interesting to see the city again. I can't really recall all the details from my previous visit, and actually in general the whole memory is quite vague. So it's like discovering it again. I don't want to waste my time on getting sitting around in bars, but I must admit that I have been spending lots of time, too much perhaps, on the computer.
 

 
My life has always been about freedom and I shall continue to walk this path.
Safe travels ! ........... Stan
