Phil's All Embracing Bhutan Slide Show
Wat Pho and Getting Ready for Bhutan

I spent most of the day at the Grand Palace and Wat Pho, taking in the magnificent sights. Near the Reclining Buddha temple was yet another temple of deep significance to the Buddhist world.


This temple depicts the story of Buddha's first sermon in a deer park in Bodhgaya, India to his first five disciples, who were also his friends and fellow ascetics. The gold plated Buddha statue is over two stories high.


This has no spiritual or religious significance, just a nice, artsy shot of flowers floating on a pond in downtown Bangkok.

Now, onto Bhutan!
