As promised, I tried and I've come back! Well before I begin, I've reached a 1000 pageviews! It has been slow but nevertheless, thank you if you have been reading my blog. Do follow and give me suggestions of how I can improve the blog. Now, my third day here.
Today, we checked out from our hotel in Pattaya and came to Bangkok. After the 2 hour drive and also the drive through the city. We reached the hotel. We hit a hitch even before checking into the hotel as I left my laptop in the car. I ran behind it ( I know its quite funny and stupid!), but in vain. We contacted our guide in Pattaya who had the driver's number thankfully! Within minutes, the driver was on his way back and just as we reached our hotel room he came with my laptop. I was relieved. As I've told you, I had a great time at Pattaya. I almost didn't want to come here. However, I would have been quite dumb to do that! My day here was awesome! Our guide came to our hotel before time. Now, I haven't mentioned any of our guides yet. Let me tell you all of them were great! I'll tell you more about them in a post only about how the people here have been. But our guide today, Toom, was a real pleasure to be with! Not only was she sweet and cordial like the other people here, she was also very knowledgeable about Thailand. She told us many things about the country. We first went to a temple called Wat Triamit. It had a statue of the Sitting Buddha made of pure gold. It was excellent. Then we headed to Wat Pho. We first saw the Standing Buddha which was 10 m high. Then came the Sitting Buddha. It was a captivating sight. The intricate details were spectacular! Then we saw the famous Reclining Buddha. The 60 m long and 15 m high statue was awe-inspiring! The Wat Pho also has many stupas. The four biggest stupas are built upon the ashes of the first four kings, King Rama I-IV. The Wat Pho temple was truly amazing. We then had to go the Gems Gallery, Bangkok as the vehicle had come from there. We didn't really do much. We then went to the Indra market, had lunch and shopped for some souvenirs for friends and family. I've been in Thailand for only three days but the people here make me feel really comfortable. I'm not very sure about tomorrow but I suppose I'll come for a while to write about Day 4. Good bye till then! :)
