Thailand. Bangkok. Part 3
In our small journey, we returned to Bangkok for the third time, and each time we found something new. Our late evening flight allowed us to spend another full day exploring the city. We decided to visit two more temples, go to the flower market, and look for gifts...
Early in the morning, before checking out of our room, we went to a temple that was very close to our guesthouse but we had never visited. The morning freshness, even in hot Bangkok, remains refreshing...
The Bowonniwet Vihara Temple...
We encountered a Buddhist service here, characterized by an atmosphere of tranquility and balance...
And again, at the entrance to the temple, we were greeted by lotuses... One of the main symbols of Buddhism. Born in the mud, they remain pure and symbolize detachment from the cycle of birth and death, even though they exist within it...
After checking out of the guesthouse, we went for a walk around the city, heading towards another interesting and unique temple, Wat Ratchabophit...
Another interesting and colorful place was the flower market. It's a place where flowers are sold in bulk...
On our way to the bus stop heading to the airport, we took one last look at the enchanting views of the Royal Palace temples...
Before the trip, we had some doubts about whether it was worth traveling so far for just 15 days when there is so much to see in that region. When you're on a longer journey and your schedule is less packed, you notice more details and immerse yourself more in the atmosphere. However, at the same time, the value of each day diminishes, and the journey gradually turns into a routine. On the other hand, when you have a limited number of days, you live each one to the fullest, appreciating each day as a treasure. It's a rather logical and common situation in our lives. If we realized that each day could be our last, as it truly can be, we would live each day very differently...
