back to Bangkok


Next time I'm in Bangkok, I'll get a small, slow boat around the
klongs that radiate from the river; numerous vignettes slipped
past my speeding boat, the driver was on a mission to get to the
lock & pretended not to know what my slow down signals meant.



Stopped once more at Wat Arun,
it's a living book of historic ornament,
constantly updated with patches..



&, my favourite pavillions: enamelled flowers on a white
background. The glass painting had a Persian look,
though distinctly Thai ~ like the wide
range of cross cultural faces, in a way.

I've maybe posted this art history video before, I love it.
