We arrived in Bangkok this afternoon and after settling into our final room of this long trip, we took a ferry northwards up the Chao Phraya river to Tha Tien pier where we visited Wat Pho (Wat Phra Chetuphon). It is the oldest and biggest temple in the city and known for its huge 46m long and 15m high Reclining Buddha.

It was particularly noisy in the temple courtyards with Chinese New Year celebrations taking place. The relatively quiet space near the Buddha was refreshingly quiet and peaceful.
