A day out to Samut Prakan and more

We took a relatively early start but because of my mis-directions with google maps it took us a lot longer than we imagined.

Our first stop was to somewhere which I had seen on the net recently - this was an incredible Temple -

And wow I could have taken pictures all day and it was only until recently that I found that there were!!

Then it was time for coffee and cake 

- we had it at Chimney Coffee House

Then back on the road and over the

and afar. We did get lost on the ring road though!!!

Then it was time to visit Sri Nakhon Khuean Khan Park And Botanical Garden. This was an enormous park in the heart of all the buildings.😁

You could rent a bicycle and cycle around. It was a great idea which was not done as well as it could have been - definitely worth the visit.

Then we came upon an enormous elephant structure - it was a Maha Dewalai Hindu Temple - fabulous.

Then we took a road to the edge or the river and we found another temple - this was 

It did seem to be bigger than I had originally anticipated - the gardens seemed to be very big.

I had a very real feeling that this was a temple which was not on the tourist map.

Walking slowly past we entered into land which was still being used to grow plants.  Walking along the raised path I did not know how long the path would last. 

But my wife was with me and she told us to continue. We did and we came upon Baan Makham

You can actually reach it all on a bicycle!!

Then began the long convoluted and twisty drive home - we got lost two more times BUT we did have a nice dinner at Kyoto Japanese Restaurant.
