Sunday we all took a tour of the attractions of Bangkok, courtesy of Rotary. It was another very hot day. We first went tithe Grand Palace. It is hard to put its beauty into words, it was a truly magnificent sight; the scale and the detail in the buildings were fascinating. I took so many pictures to try and capture the beauty but the photos just don't do it justice. I will try and post a few here; however I took 440pictures on Sunday. One of the highlights of the Grand Palace was getting to see the Emerald Buddha (although it's actually made if jade) the temple was packed but worth getting a glimpse of the Buddha.

We then went to Wat Pho which is home to. The Reclining Buddha and the origins of Thai massage. The Reclining Buddha is a massive gold Buddha and impressive. When walking around this Buddha I was surprise do see that this Buddha has footprints. After Wat Pho we had lunch at the pier and had some very good coconut pancakes! We then got on a smaller boat and took a cruise of the Chao Phraya River where we got another view of the Grand Palace. We also went to another temple called Wat Arun (temple of dawn). We were able to climb this temple and get some great views; however many of us were running out of steam from the heat of the day.
