5th day: An other day in Bangkok

We started again on the water, with the bus. It is the most efficient transportation in Bangkok, where trafic jams are essential part of the daily life.

The first destination today was the "food market" another one of the more than 15 big markets of Bangkok.

After that came another temple complex on the program.

Wat Pho is named after a monastery in India where Buddha is believed to have lived and known also as the Temple of the Reclining Buddha. The image of reclining Buddha is 15 m high and 43 m long with his right arm supporting the head with tight curls on two box-pillows of blue, richly encrusted with glass mosaics. The 3 m high and 4.5 m long foot of Buddha displays are inlaid with mother-of-pearl. They are divided into 108 arranged panels.

After a long walk through various districts, we arrived in Chinatown.

 The rest of the day we spent at the Hotel.
