day 1084 / 183:
i have a couple of final posts from our Asia trip (i promise to get them out the way before the end of Feb and move on).....
while we were in Thailand, we went to visit Wat Suwan Kuha also known as the Monkey Temple which as the name suggests, has a troupe of monkeys (one of my favourite collective nouns) that play on the hills outside. you can buy bunches of bananas to feed the monkeys. we avoided this as two coaches of visitors were just leaving as we arrived so, we figured that the monkeys needed time to digest.....
the temple is in a cave with a charmingly faded entrance. we obviously timed our visit (not deliberately) between coaches as we almost had the whole place to ourselves.....bliss.
there is a giant, reclining, golden buddha in the cave but personally, i found the seated buddhas arranged along the walls far more beautiful. you can explore the caves but with a buggy and a toddler this was slightly tricky. maybe next time.....
Beautiful photos! My little family is moving to Manila in June so we're starting a list of all the Asian cities we want to see while we're there. I know we want to go to Thailand so maybe we'll check out the monkeys too.
ReplyDeleteAbsolutely magical. Spellbinding, really. I simply can never get over your amazing, beautiful photography. I can't imagine there is a possession more precious than these.
