jerro in the garden of delights

Here are some more images from our trek around Bangkok yesterday.

The first three images were taken en-route to this large and delightful temple complex. The others, except for the last were taken inside the complex. The last picture is an 'omage' to Beavis and Butthead. I realize that toilet humor is most often derogatory and the last refuge of the imature, but it was just begging to be taken.




A godhouse that I saw in a garden

















Some wind chimes

















Another type of godhouse without the house

















The first large building in the temple complex

















Just visiting

















A group of young thais who found Jerro delightful and followed us for a few minutes

















Jerro under a gold leafed lotus growing below a window

















The entrance to one of the buildings that was either being renovated or built. There were about 20 persons on scaffolding painting it red and gold

















Jerro in one of the many small shrines in the complex

















The same shrine

















A lintel

















One of the buildings showing the fruits of devoted labor

















Jerro and what I think is the '6 armed Bhudda', unfortunately all the placards were in Thai, so I am most likely wrong about which Bhudda this is.

















The '6 armed Bhudda'

















More Bhuddas

















A fat and jolly happy Bhudda. The trick with this Bhudda was to try and get money inside his belly through his belly button. We tried twice but our aim was distracted by earthly karma, much to the amusement of an old lady who rolled with laughter at my pathetic attempt to bribe the Bhudda for his attention

















Jerro leaving the temple

















The Temple complex at night showing the building that I referred to earlier that was under construction

















The sign says poo hunh, hunh
