for your viewing pleasure

Yeah, sorry, I don't know why those pics didn't load last time. On the last post you have what is I think I recall a 46 foot long reclining Buddha. I took that picture at Wat Pho. (Wat is the local lingo for Buddist temple) On this post you have, in ascending order:
The I don't know how to spell it but you say it like Took-took. They are three wheeled taxis, fun to ride in and open air.
A little Bangkok night traffic.
I typical street vendor's kiosk.
And a shot of the building inside one of the royal palaces. Yes, that is gold, and so is that Buddha in the picture. Gold and mother of pearl. Thailand is a constitutional monarch, and the nicest people in the world (Thais) might summon some hidden ability somewhere in their averagely diminutive statures to bring you gross physical harm if any farang (whitey, basically) says anything, good or bad, about the king. For the people here, you have Buddha, then the king. Don't talk crap about the king. If you ever come here, which you should. I'm tired and I'm headed to Ko Samet, one of the best beaches in the world, with my buddy Bryan Tilson who is currently in pocket here. Love to all chaps, as some of my British friends would say and so would Lady Ashley in The Sun Also Rises. G'night folks.
