This old location was the capital city of Thailand between 1350 and 1767. But there where some wars and this city burned totally. Only whats left behind are the stone walls and temples. Its a big area and there where in past around 1 milion people and 1700 temples. This is a beautiful location yo must see!!
A wonderful cave with a gold plated buddha is laying and monkey’s walk freely around the area!
You can see some white spots in the image, when you click on it you goto other part of cave. Or click on the red location points on the map!
It was a long day… Mini-van in, Mini-van out. Walking around for 10 or 20 min then back in the mini-van. Here the list of all destinations:
Most of them where nice to see. Some i din’t like. The money show and Snake show. It seems that the animals like it…. but no. Every hour a person make the snakes angry or afraid to show the tourist how they react. That is not Entertainment. Show a video with this, then walk around and tell something about these snakes. Later the day we went to the Waterfall and Gibbon Project. Gibbon Project is to get Gibbons who used for tourism industry. Strange that earlier the day you see a monkey show, and later the day a rescue project for Gibbons.

After my Olympic Park visit i went too 2 temples: Lama Temple and Temple of heaven. Both very crowded with people. And seems i was the only white guy around there. The temples where colored so nice, and everywhere people pray, and give money to the buddha. When i was in temple of heaven 2 times people want on a photo with me, so i was the only white guy there, and a new attraction was born…
