Sam Se Ju Hud Chinese Shrine was my first stop of the morning. They are currently expanding this Shrine and there is a beautiful Statuette to be admired.
The burial area at the bottom left has now been closed off to all visitors?
As I slowly walked up various cars and motorbikes passed me beeping and waving, even some Buddhist Monks - I decided to walk steadily to stop thinking about the business of work and let the stress leave me.
On reaching halfway up I reached a new road - a road that took you directly to Wat Thepkajonjit and a beautiful golden Buddha statue on the side of the Rang Hill.
I entered the temple to pay respects.
I then walked upstairs to the Gold Buddha - finding a small offering / temple underneath - wonderful.
I then walked across to the Wat - a wonderful approach of very steep traditional steps guarded by Yuks.
As I reached the top the top room was open and recently decorated - more pictures to come here.
As I continued I found that there was a roadside Shrine of broken statuettes under a tree, I chose to have a look - clambering over the rails and looking closely (more photographs to come).
As I continued up I was waved at by the monks which were travelling in the back of an open truck!
The previous mystery of the passing monks was made clear as I continued to walk up the hill - monks were clearing an area near a Chinese Burial Area on the hill.
Orange robes were also wrapped around a number of trees - I imagine that this is to 'bless' the trees and stop any further building? An investigation will be made.
On reaching the top I visited the 'not yet finished' outlook spot.
Then retiring to the Tunka-Cafe BUT it was closed :)
Walking down was a lot easier - so i posted my Instagram picture of the day...
Arriving at the bottom I found a little air-conditioned coffee shop - Sweet 'n Treats - fabulous iced coffee - OR did I need it that badly?
I then met Chuen for Lunch and we had some wonderful noodles at เบรคแตก (Brake Taek).
Time was taken, we picked up Jemma and visited a Local Market on the way home - opposite Wat Thepnimitr - fabulous! More pictures will be on timinphuket - things to do.
