Wat Phutthaisawan - Visit 2

Wat Phutthaisawan (Ayutthaya) is somewhere we visited on a day trip to Ayutthaya.

Wat Putthaisawan is located to the west of the island city of Ayutthaya In 1353, King U-Thong1 established this monastery on the Chao Phraya Riverside. (Wat Putthaisawan Facebook).

The white chedi was somewhere I had to look more closely at. It was well guarded!!

We walked up the stairs.

To find this inside.

We came down and found something newer - a golden Buddha room - with a monk in as well.

And the monk gave me a gift.

Outside there was the traditional bell to ring or stroke.

Then as we continued to walk there was a lot more older and traditional chedi.

Wow - I felt very special - thank you.

Wat Tham Khao Thong - Rayong (1/2)

Wat Tham Khao Thong in Rayong was a Wat that needed some repair at the very top.

BUT there was a plethora of monkeys at the bottom of the hill.

I could find very little in English about this special place.

BUT if you are near there then make an effort to go.

Here's our visits;

Day One

Day Two

Day Three

Nid Coffee Shop - novel - Visit 11

I have started reading a book as I take my walk to the street coffee.

I have also found out that it is noticed by the local people that 'Mr Tim' goes for a lot of coffee.

There are options for coffee on Ramkhamhaeng 76.

1) Tanyapat & Anyawee

2) Nid Coffee Shop

CentralWorld Square

We went here whilst they were having

a big sale for food.

I have very little idea what all the food was

but we purchased

a selection

and took it home for lunch.

This visit was made in December 2021.
