Except for hitting the gym at 7am, having a lazy day today. It's cooler since it started raining again. Did some shopping and stopped for lunch at a great place to go if you want European food.

Hubby had pad thai with tofu. He's never tried it before but he won't have it again. He found the noodles too greasy.



I had a chicken wrap, but after the amazing one at Sweet Sisters I think all chicken wraps will now seem really boring.

Yummy.

Very very nice, Annie --- those wrap breads look tasty, as does everything.

The recent wrap was actually kind of boring compared to the earlier one at Sweet Sisters. Definitely writing a Tripadvisor review on that place!

Threat of thunderstorms has kept us from doing a few things like going out in the kayak or going for longer cycle rides. Shouldn't last much longer though.

Revisited a pagoda today that we visited a couple of times last winter. Laem Sor Pagoda



Guarding the pagoda



Visitors are expected to wear respectful dress including covering the shoulders and knees. I had shorts on but did have my shawl.



This beautiful Buddha is new

Thought of Ralphy who likes gin when I saw this bottle in the supermarket. Cost would be $30+.



Caught this lighting while having lunch

Thanks, all! I love all the beautiful temples.

Today's bike ride. Stopped at two temples.

Mummified monk - a bit fuzzy. I guess the shades make it less gruesome so you don't have to look at the eye sockets.

 

[GeorgiaXplant]

AhhhhI feel better now that I've done some traveling!

 

[AprilT]

Oh Annie, how wonderful!

 

[Cookie]

Amazing pictures, Annie - truly Buddha land. Thanks

 

[Ameriscot]

Thanks ladies. This is seriously Buddha land. Buddhas everywhere!!!! But lots of xmas trees and decorations and non-religious xmas songs in the malls since there are so many christians who visit or have emigrated here. Mass was mobbed this morning - standing room only. Maybe half were Thai. Mass was in English.

I even bought a skirt for the occasion:
