Each week we post a link to an article in Bangkok 101 and today the article is about
Dr Sumet Jumsai na Ayudhya - สุเมธ ชุมสาย ณ อยุธยา - and his creation of Bangkok’s most captivatingly peculiar buildings - h ttps://www.bangkok101.com/bard-bizarre-architecture/- original text by Jim Algie.

Here are just two of some of the buildings he was involved with

- The Robot Building (1986) - https://goo.gl/maps/gHp3ktk1miy - a building shaped like a robot, simple, now the HQ of the United Overseas Bank

- The Elephant Tower (1997) - https://goo.gl/maps/aSFc9Ts41Qr - explanation not necessary

If you visit #Bangkok stay with us at Cape House Hotel - or Kantary House - and here’s a map - http://bit.ly/2qiOvYm.

ภูเขาทองการช่าง

ภูเขาทองการช่าง was a great place for some noodles.

Delicious, great value and convenient if you were visiting the Golden Mountain Temple.

Wat Umong Suan Phutthatham (@Chiang Mai)

Wat Umong Suan Phutthatham is

somewhere we visited when we took one of our trips to Chiang Mai.

It is also referred to as 'The Tunnel Temple' because of the tunnel set towards the back of the building.

Then there is the adjacent forest.

A wonderful and interesting place to visit.

Wat Paknam Jolo (@Chachoengsao)

We visited here more than once because Chasengcho is not far from Bangkok and this

golden temple is certainly a place to visit if you are looking for that sort of thing.

But I could not find a lot about it on the Internet - Trover and TripAdvisor.

Essentially it is simply a Golden Temple

- simply wonderful.

Visits to Chasengcho

1. A Day Out

2. A Weekend Away

3. Khlong Khan Ganesh Park

Coffman

Coffman is also a shop where you can buy a coffee or coffee machine or get taught to be a Barista.

A great place to wait whilst a loved one goes shopping.

The other place to wait is the Pink Cafe - both very nice.

Phone numbers in Thailand

Hoping that you don't need any of the numbers.

Wat Hua Suan (@Chachoengsao)

Wat Hua Suan was somewhere we visited when we took a trip to Chacoengsao.

This is a stainless steel temple - fascinating but I could not find anything that I was able to understand it's significance.

Please remember to dress appropriately.

Definitely worth visiting if you are in Chacoengsao - here's a link about things to do in Chacoengsao.

Wat Phra Phuttachaira (@Saraburi)

Wat Phra Phuttachai is somewhere we visited when we went to Saraburi for the weekend.

It was certainly a fascinating spot from a distance.

On arriving the car was surrounded by monkeys.

It was worth going to the top because the view was stunning.

On returning to Bangkok to write about this special place I was surprised that there was so little information - well that was until I found this website by Tourism Thailand - https://www.tourismthailand.org/Attraction/Wat-Phra-Phuttachai--2597.

And as it is concise and beautifully written - I urge you to read the link.

Teaching from Home

Well this #Coronavirus has taken me places that I had not expected to go.

I dusted off the computer and learnt to make powerpoint presentations again!

Worked my way around Seesaw and then started to use Zoom.

Good luck to you all.
