Camminando | Bangkok: Wat Benchamabophit Dusitvanaram (Marble Temple)


My last in Bangkok was devoted to the visit of Wat Benchamabophit Dusitvanaram also known as the Marble Temple. This symmetric Buddhist temple, built in 1899, is a perfect example of inside-out spaces and a succession of framed views.

Waterways | From Gold to Blue

My coordinates have moved closer to the Equator to 8.0592° N, 98.9189° E, namely Krabi, Phra Nang Peninsula Thailand ---and my visual field satured with gold and saffron hues colours has changed to blu, aqua, framed by palm trees and other tropical plants. I am staying near Aonang beach, visually beautiful but not so tempting for swimming. But there are plenty of options to more alluring clear waters. The easiest one is a long tail boat ride to Railay beach, my first immersive encounter with the Andaman Sea.
