Bangkok Winter still hot! - Wat Arun and Wat Pho

You can't go to Thailand without visiting any temple, and this morning we visited Wat Pho and Wat Arun.

Wat Pho the "Reclining Buddha Temple" is the largest temple in Bangkok. Besides the huge gold plated reclining Buddha, there're other little temples within the ground with even more Buddha images.















After Wat Pho, we took a short boat ride across the river to Wat Arun, also known as the Temple of Dawn, which is famous for their prangs (Khmer-style tower). These prangs are beautifully decorated with bits of porcelain and some still look very colorful after all these time.
