Finance & Artist

I took this from Kasikorn Bank headquarter in Bangkok, located in Rama 3 Road, near Chaopraya river. It is very beautiful building and full of art things like paintings, sculpture, portrait. It has art gallery display inside the bank too.

Dusit Zoo, Bangkok

I took my niece there early this year, take lot of her photo with animal. This is only one photo I have without people in the scene.

Quite a good zoo. Children will probably love it as it has the usual guests: tigers, giraffes,hippos and the rest. The elephants were as you can imagine quite popular.

There is as well a lake where you can rent one of those waterboats with pedals and pedal for half an hour ( 50 baths the 1/2 hour) and see the gardens. In the lake there are fish, alligators and turtles. Careful not to run them over ;-)

The access to the zoo is really cheap, 30 baths per person and as I said children will love it and it won't break the bank. The grounds used to be originally the private botanical gardens of king Rama V and you can see still the different species of flora cultivated here.

King Naresuan the Great, The King who dared to change the destiny of a Nation

I don't know myself either why I take this monument at the backside, probably I have weired mind that time as most of monument is shown only front side. It is monument of King Naresuan the Great, which is located in Phetchaburi Province inside army camp. It is large army camp for paratrooper.

King Naresuan the Great was King of Ayutthaya kingdom from 1590 until his death in 1605. Naresuan was one of Siam's most revered monarchs as he was known for his campaigns to free Siam from Burmese tributary.

We made film about him to, you can see here. It is very good film, and great production.

Wat Phu Khao Thong (Golden Mountain Temple), Ayutthaya

I visited this temple called Wat Phu Khao Thong, in English meaning The Golden Mountain Temple in February 2007 with friends. Thai Buddhisms have belief that if we could go to make merit for 9 temples in one day, it will bring extra luck to our life. This temple was one of the nine temples I went for that time.

It has been very hot day, but so enjoy.

History in brief of this temple related to Burmese is here.

Reproduced Emerald Buddha

In many temples of Thailand requested to have Reproduced Emerald Buddha and keep in their chapel for local people who can't afford going to see Authenthic Emerald Buddha in Bangkok. I took this picture during the Thai New Year again, as people will do Bathing Buddha Image for their good luck in the year.

Hope this information will give you additional idea of what we do in Songkran beside teenagers water splashing.

Tasty Mango

This photo is very common I think, I got this photo during my Thai New Year holiday (Songkran Festival). It is in my hometown as Mango is very famous fruit in my city.

They made in various color by nature color.

Wat Sothon Wararam Worawihan

Hello,
I select this to be my debut of Thailand-In-Photos blog, only because it is located in my hometown. This is very famous temple in Thailand. The present chapel (ubosot) is a new, beautiful, and gigantic building which has replaced the old one. The chapel actually depicts the style of the applied Rattanakosin period.

Thanks to Gordon, publisher of Adelaide in Photos, who inspired me of putting photo of my country.
