BANGKOK WAT(s) REVIVAL

MYSTICAL TOUR 2ND ROUND - FEBRUARY 1997

The first round of the Bangkok temples took place in 1983, and memories from such trip as well as descriptions of the temples may be seen here. So, I'll reduce words. Fourteen years later, when we compare sites and pictures, we may conclude that great improvements were made!

WAT PO



WAT PO - The oldest and largest temple in Bangkok"



"GOLDEN BUDDHA"




"RECLINING BUDDHA in much better shape. Surely re-gilded..."

***

WAT ARUN






"WAT ARUN - «Temple of the Dawn», probably the better known symbol of Bangkok"
