I will post the pix in my trip to Bangkok.

Vendor Shops on wheels keep the economy moving. They are all over the city.

I would really enjoy seeing any and all temple pictures. Are you going to Angkor? It is one of my fondest hopes to go there some day.

Wat Phra Kaew
 

One of Thailand's most revered temples,Wat Phra Kaew is located inside the grounds of the Grand Palace. This Royal temple contains an exquisite Emerald Buddha which dates back to around the 14th century.

No one is allowed near the Buddha which is raised high on a series of platforms, except H.M. King. A seasonal cloak, changed three times a year to correspond to the summer, winter, and rainy season covers the statue. A very important ritual, the changing of the robes is performed only by the King to bring good fortune to the country during each season. The temple is beautifully decorated and has a great sense of peace about it.

I believe that you have seen the decorated wat many times. No one doesn't feel surprised when seeing it.

I don't know its English name, but they make me feel weight of the tower.

Your pictures are better than the website you linked. :thumbsup:

Thai Tale history. There are many that frescos on the wat alls. I cannot understand the story.

Fresco about their culture, history, war, medcine...

I guess they all know the story behind the murals. Seeing the picture just reminds them of it.
You're getting good with that camera Billy. :)

They kind of remind me a bit of gargoyles. Gargoyles were popular back in the middle ages in Europe. They were bizarre and grotesque statues placed on the outside of buildings (inside too?) to scare off demons. But the Chinese ones are much more brightly decorated, and I kind of doubt they're there to scare of demons, but what do I know.

Billy, do you know anything else about the ones in your picture?
