Thai Temple Tour

Hi everyone,

I know I was supposed to be back days ago to post more pics from Reece (my son) and Sarina's (Reece's girlfriend) recent trip to Thailand but life gets in the way sometimes. Better late than never, right?

Anywhoo...as promised...

The following pics are from a day out touring temples. There were lots of temples to see and each were spectacular in their own right. I have chosen just a few pics from the many Reece and Sarina took.

Remember you can click any image to enlarge it

...it was impossible for them to get the whole Buddha in a single shot


A stunning red and gold temple


I like the perspective of this one


These (below) are tombs. Reece was told that the tombs are decorated in a mosaic fashion using pieces of chinaware/crockery. Apparently, local restaurants send any broken chinaware/crockery to the craftspeople and it is also used to create these stunning designs.


The Buddha sculptures are quite impressive and,
according to Reece and Sarina, this one was huge!


The Buddha below is solid Thai gold


The Buddha pictured below is under construction and massive in size.
Reece said that it can be seen from anywhere in Thailand.

I've been playing around with Blogger's new templates which are available via Blogger in Draft. Click here to read more about it. I'm impressed with how easy it is to use. The new Template Designer has lots of adjustment capabilities for personalisation of your blog. I'd appreciate it if you would let me know if you have any problem with my blog loading, thanks ~

It was Michelle's birthday today and she and Alex came over for lunch. Mum and Dad were here also and we all had a nice, relaxing time together. I hope your weekend was restful and happy too.

Love, light and peace
