Expat luncheon at Colin's 2006 - - - - - - - - - Parade May 2006
Years ago, on a tour around Bangkok. Packed on a minibus the tour ended early.
The other tourists with me on the bus were mid twenties to thirties Australians.
The guide asked the group if they wished to stop by another temple.
"If you've seen one, you've seen em all," was the unison Ozi reply.
I'm not religious, but I enjoy visiting temples.
They are most often the local art galleries, meetings and events places.
Some temples have more recently produced art.
Others receive donations which are very rare and exquisite.
Many temples have extensive gardens, statues, small lakes, swans, monkeys; a wide variety of animals
. 
I get an eerie feeling when I visit ancient sites, just thinking of the thousands of people who were here before me. The residents and the battles responsible for the destruction.
