Day 17: Bangkok Tour

The pleasantly warm morning sun means that the tour start at the Grand Palace, which is as much Bangkok as the Eiffel Tower is Paris and the Statue of Liberty is New York. The large royal temple complex and especially the neighbouring Gold Buddha, which extends 46 meters in length and 15 meters in height, is definitely worth a visit!  Here one is fascinated by the incredible patience some Thais are equipped with when they gently with tweezers sits and puts small mosaic stones – one by one – onto the giant temples.

The huge river Chao Phraya and the hectic traffic on the river is an attraction in itself. Here sail you through the apparent chaos of large and small boats which are all used to either transport or trade and on into the charming canals. One moment you are in chaos and with views of Bangkok’s skyscrapers, the next moment you are in the narrow channels and can closely follow the daily lives of the Thais who have chosen to live in stilt houses directly in the water. There are no cars, so both the postman, the grocer, the baker comes around just like you – namely in the boat.
