More Random Shots From Bangkok


I saw a lotta Buddhas today.  In fact I saw a solid gold Buddha.  There is a strange mixture of Buddhism mixed with Hinduism here in Thailand and also in Cambodia.  The Temples have Hindu Mythology mixed with Buddha.  They are definitely Buddhists but the Hindu stuff is there.  There are also many Indian tourists as well as many others from many places.  I heard French, Chinese, English, Italian, Korean, Japanese and Hebrew at the principal tourist spots.


Went to the wholesale flower market.  They make arrangements for different events like weddings, funerals, offerings and loose bunches ( lots of orchids)
