Well I finally made some time and have loaded some more photos from our Bangkok honeymoon adventures... I absolutely love the gold background to the top photo - We are standing at the base of a Golden temple, its absolutley stunning. All the temples are built by hand, down to the tiles and ceramics. They say it takes ages to build these temples, but thats fine by the Thai people,... they are in no rush, when it gets done, it gets done - unlike us Westerners who want everything done "yesterday" 
This guy here was one of my favourites - he was one of a dozen "monkeys" carrying a mountain.... there is a story behind why he is carrying the mountain - but I did not retain that information!! typical of me really.. But I do know that the colours on the monkeys (and most temples) represent the jewells found in Thailand,
Red = rubies Blue = Saphires Green = Emeralds
Hence the colourful post as a tribute!
This is the reclining buddha - and as mentioned in the earlier post - this was something that I really wanted to see while in Bangkok! It was sooo amazing! The Thai culture is fascinating and the people are great. I learnt in Bangkok the value of doing the little hands together "like you are a child prying" and and nodding with the words of "sawadee ka" to say hello or "kopoomka" to say thank you - I found that it made things a lot easier!
Thanks for checking in... "kopoomka"
