Grand Palace and Wat Pho~ Day 10

Saturday~ Grand Palace day!


buy your ticket and head on in...



very ornate stuff!


The 2 spade looking things mean a Royal temple!










family shot~ Steve decided to rest today


This was John's good hair shot :) (a little hot and windy out)...




The Emerald Buddha is inside of this temple, we couldn't take pictures 
but my Dad got some with his zoom lens!

here it is... he is kinda little and made of green jade




It is scorching hot and we didn't bring water and they won't let us 
re-enter so we settle with wet towels they are selling (they weren't selling water inside)...

When John and I went off in search for water we get back and these school girls were interviewing my Dad to practice their English!

Grand Palace!!





getting a close up...

The dress code is pretty strict and we are sweating so bad in jeans!!!


Wat Pho~ The Reclining Buddha







This reclining Buddha is HUMONGOUS!




perspective of how big compared to the people standing around...

The bottom of the feet were really cool, made with mother of pearl!


Now the Sportsman for burgers!

Dad's burger

John's

Mom's

and mine... (they all look the same could have done with one pic)

Tonight we are celebrating my birthday and head to Banyan Tree rooftop bar!
It starts raining on the way and they end up being closed when we get there.
We have a cocktail in the lounge hoping it re-opens but end up heading to the next spot...
