Wat Arun – Decorations

I kept wondering: Whose china service had been used? How many plates did end up on the walls? What tools did they use to cut (I want them)? Where did the shells come from?

Wat Arun

WOW – the size of the pagoda is impressive but also what an unexpected decoration style! Detail photos in next post.

Another interesting feature were again the many Asians dressed up in traditional clothing, posing everywhere, photographers swarming them like paparazzis. I didn’t mind having any of the pretty ladies walking into my photos. I actually tried to take sneaky photos of them.

This temple is Khmer style and is located across the river from the Grand Palace.

My fav eatery in Bangkok

I was a little bit worried about street food to be honest. We Westerners do have a different hygiene standard, however, I got salmonella in a 4 star restaurant in Hamburg once, so maybe not?

I think it’s best not to see the kitchen, just to enjoy the food. Well, having said that I actually enjoyed watching my food being prepared at NAVA Pad Thai. The kitchen is at the front of the restaurant, very open, very organised, very simple.

Open from 10am to 7pm they are cooking non-stop. Many locals order lunch in advance. Always a good sign when locals eat there.

Every day after my sightseeing I went straight to NAVA, and got greeted like a regular. I would get a watermelon smoothie from next door then settle down in the small, air conditioned restaurant and watch the magic happen.
