  • The prang of Wat Arun on the bank of Chao Phraya River is one of the Bangkok famous landmarks. From a French to Thonburi made in the reign of King Narai it can be seen that the temple existed when Ayutthaya was Siam?s capital. It is called the ?temple of the dawn? and the most beautiful view of it is from the east side of the river at sunset.

     It was impressive when i celebrated my daughter's birthday party at MK Restaurant. All staff members were singing HBD song and clapping their hands altogether, really made my kid feel happier! she couldnt quit smiling because of that surprised incident.

     Your post on MBK- you said it's a great place if you're looking for a thai artist to reproduce an old photograph. Do you know how much they charge, generally? Cheers.

     Beautiful pic of an important monument! On the lighter side, remember what Confucius said: "Man who goes through airport sliding door sideways, is going to bangkok!" :D
