Bangkok, Thailand
The house Anthony arranged for me in Nichada Thani, Bangkok. Here he is with Pili. The maid he hired for me.
From my bedroom balcony.
Amazing collection of art and imports in the house.
Chinese Caligraphy Brushes. I love these!!! The handles are exquisite: some are porcelain, some metal, some wooden, some jade, some cinabar, some bone, some beaded...amazing collection. I want to collect these too.
The day I arrived in Bangkok it was the Kings Birthday, a huge celebration of loyalty and devotion throughout the country and for days to follow.
Where Anthony works...He is a fitness trainer. Thailand is my body work time.
Right across from here, I have gotten a 1 hour massage for 300 baht (about $10 US)
This is a Temple City

Amazing detail and reverence to Buddhas...many Buddhas. I went inside one temple and there was the Emerald Buddha. They don't let you take pictures inside the Temples.
Anthony's friends live in this penthouse. We have had dinner with them a few times. The view is 360 and a great way to see Bangkok, especially at night.
Pili and Pott
I have this thing about water lillies and it seems they are everywhere I go.
Now this is all detail of the outside of the temples...the insides were incredible from floor to ceiling with Golden boats and Emerald Buddahs.
I call this love and devotion as that is what it takes to create something so incredibly intricate to the last detail.
MY GIFT TO YOU: Below are pictures I took with the intention of putting then into square black shadow boxes. You are welcome to use them if you like them.
