2013 - OCEANIA - BANGKOK 2
Mon 23 May 2005
SOMETHING OF A CHANGE OF PACE TODAY.
GONE ARE THE CROWDS OF PEOPLE AS I GET A PRIVATE TOUR OF THE PRASART MUSEUM.
A PRIVATE COLLECTION BY A RICH, MAKE THAT VERY RICH, THAI GENTLEMAN WHO HAS COLLECTED ART FROM ALL AROUND THE REGION AND ASSEMBLED IT IN THESE FINE GARDENS.
A VERY QUIET, SECLUDED SPOT IN THE CITY...
THE BLUE HAZE IS INCENSE BURNING....
A HUMMINGBIRD....
THEN IT'S BACK TO THE SHIP & A GOODBY TO THE GUIDES. HOPE THEY MADE SOME CASH FOR ALL THEIR HARD WORK KEEPING ALL THEIR SHEEP SAFE.
AND THE TRIP DOWN RIVER TO THE SEA...
THIS MAY BE A FUNERAL OFFERING PERHAPS...
& SOMEONE TAKING A BREAK ON THE BACK OF A LANDING CRAFT...
PICTURES OF THE KING WERE ALL OVER THE PLACE. A VERY POPULAR FELLOW I THINK..
AND THE END OF THE RIVER WITH BANGKOK BEHIND US.
