BANGKOK: TEMPLES

thailand's big capital city, bangkok, is crowded with temples, like the wat phra kaew temple or the wat phro temple, both east of the chao phraya river.west of the river is the huge wat arun temple.

the rattanakosin royal district - see arial picture above - also contains lots of temples.

all these buildings, and the statues, and the decorations, are the finest art works, and their vigour and beauty is almost overwhelming.

unfortunately my diary from the bangkok visits, including my notes about the inspected and photographed monuments, has gone lost.
therefore this gallery will just show pictures, without any information about the items -- sorry!

finally - here is a nice painting of the royal area and an essential temple.
