Thanks, Mr Samui! I’d expect somebody with your moniker to know what they are talking about when it comes to Thaiand.

Wat Pho is one of my favourite places to visit in Bangkok, not just for the famous reclining Buddha, but also for the picturesque surrounding temples and lighthouses. It’s hard to believe that just outside of the walls of this peaceful sanctuary is the hustle and bustle of Bangkok, home to 64 million people. Another place not to be missed is the Bangkok Grand Palace. Both places offer plenty of intricate architectural subjects to be photographed.

I loved the Reclining Buddha! the rest of Wat Pho is actually equally picturesque; plenty of beautiful stone carvings and ornate mother-of-pearl statues. You could spend hours there, just watching – and all the while knowing the bustle of Bangkok is just outside the gates.

I love the lustre of that gold! Must be spectacular to see it in person.

Holy cow! That is an enormous statue. My mother became a Buddhist several years ago so I have a new appreciation for Buddhism and would love to go to Asia. I love seeing Eastern art and sculptures like this — so different from anything you would see in America.
