Despite the heat and with the thought that you can never see enough temples in one day we enjoyed a tuk-tuk journey from Wat Pho to Wat Saket, otherwise known as Golden Mount).
 |
| I might not be so tall but tuk-tuks are obviously made for shorter passengers although Tine appreciated the view! |
 |
| A jaunty pink and gold dragon was there to greet us |
 |
| It's a spiral footpath that ascends the mount, the lower parts in shade with several shrines along the way |
 |
| To amuse visitors, wonderful sounding bells... |
 |
| ...and gongs, where you could pretend to be introducing a J. Arthur Rank film! |
 |
| This sign tickled me as it's the norm to remove all footwear before entering a temple |
 |
| Finally, the view from the top of the man-made hill... |
 |
| ...where we watched a Buddhist ceremony, the crowd chanting after the leader, whilst holding the ribbon all the way around the stupa. |
