A Trip through Bangkok by Rice Barge
 

Stewart and Carol (middle) invited us on a barge tour of the river in Bangkok.

It was spectacular. As Lisa said 'you get a whole different view of the city from the river.'

 


"We took a trip in Bangkok,

up on the river a way,

we saw the sights,

we smelled the smells,

and had a wonderful day."

 

This is an example of the mixture of modern and old architecture.

You see this all the way along the river.

 

What a sight. The houses out over the river... the laundry... beautiful.
 

The Rice Barge (bottom left of this photograph) took us back up the river.

It rocked and swayed and was a very pleasant ride, really!

 

Thailand's temples abound.

In every town they are abundant.

Buddha lives within the hearts of the Thai.

 

This woman is washing in the river. Many of the Thais still do not have water in the shanty town where they live.

Imagine having to come to a river to get washed!

We have so many modern day conveniences.

It's good to travel as it makes you more thankful for what you havel and how we live!

Imagine walking out YOUR back door and having a river-launch attached to your porch.

What a way to travel around the city... amazing.

Amazing Thailand.
