I knew the minute I saw this one, it was going to be a winner!! This temple is such an amazing piece of history and architectural interest! Just look at the cityscape that it is part of. It dominates the scene and rightly so.
That is quite the name. I am sure that is how you say the name in Thai. My tongue stumbled over it about 1/3 of the way through it. Isn't it nice when you don't have to fight the crowds, for a change? I love it when any of you living in Thailand take me along the river, in the boat or on foot. It has the most amazing life in the whole country. It isn't all pretty, there are some lesser sections, but, to me, it adds the charm and flavor to an amazing country. Of course, who doesn't love the Grand Palace? I am so jealous!!! Your Hop-on, Hop-off is $6.00???? For the Washington, DC area, it is $44.10, although, bus tours are operating a reduced hop-on, hop-off service, still passing by all the famous sights and landmarks.
I had never heard of the term mondop, but, I am glad you told me what it is. Every piece of information is absorbed by your readers. The ancient art of their culture is fascinating. The temple itself defines the skyline of Bangkok. The structure is different from the other ones you have shown, it is absolutely breathtaking, I cannot imagine being in its presence. It is truly majestic with the touches of gold, everywhere, the halls lined in golden Buddhas. I cannot thank you enough for such a wonderful post. Thank you so much for taking part in #MarketFriday! I am so pleased to see you here and I will admit that it is fun to go through these posts and have so many different cultural experiences.
