Tim in Thailand : October 2018

Harmonique was a wonderful find on a walking trip though Bangkok - John Bush and more.

What an amazing place to find! Walking along the back streets and then a sign and an old building

- time for a coffee then (next time food).

It clearly has a lot of history to the restaurant and unfortunately I can find nothing.

There is a tree growing in the building and the restaurant is very popular with the Chinese Tourist currently.

Definitely worth visiting to have a look at the number of historical artifacts which are scattered throughout the rooms.

Stop 3: The Giant Swing is certainly an interesting structure (built in 1784), it was originally used in an old Brahim ceremony but during the reign of Rama II the swing was damaged by lightning.

Stop 6: Wat Suthat Theppwaram is another place which is not always on the Tour Guide - which means that it really is quite peaceful - with an Ordination Hall which is enormous, with a visit (were renovating it when I visited).
