One of things to do in Bangkok. The massive markets has so beautiful flowers and many more vendors, mostly flowers but also some produces. I got a fat coconut, that costs ฿40, which is the going rate.

Or Wat Pho, is a Buddhist temple complex in the Phra Nakhon District, Bangkok, Thailand. It is on Rattanakosin Island, directly south of the Grand Palace.

We went on a Saturday, toward end of November, the place is still jammmmmed packed. The watchers are making sure everyone is shoe off, over the knees skirt or pants, to enter the halls. I used my large scarf. I brought a pair of socks – can’t forget that in one of episodes in Sex and The City, Carrie Bradshaw’s shoes were stolen at her friend’s party. Ok, mine is neither Jimmy Choo or Manolo Blahnik -:)

Very casual.  No door. Narrow one way street. No air conditioning (I think – we were there in November, only fans). We’ve two fried noodle plates and they’re ok. The stem of the green veggie is tender and yummy (I hope is part of the leave). It was just right for us at the right moment.
