After our return from the Floating Market, we visited the Grand Palace, the Temple of the Emerald Buddha (Wat Phra Kaew), the Temple of the Reclining Buddha (Wat Pho) and Wat Traimit (no english name that I could find!!), a temple with a solid gold Buddha (5.5 tons of gold!); the solid gold part was discovered under a plain coating of stucco and plaster in 1955.
It made for a busy day, but we were back at the hotel by 4pm. We then went for dinner at a restaurant where Vincent had gone the summer before, during his trip to Asia. It was kind of neat to eat in the same place that our son did a year before, halfway around the world! The meal was actually pretty good too, thanks Vin!
