Thailand

Opening ceremony was yesterday. The king is regaining is strength so the princess welcomed us. Interesting entertainment by children. The parade of flags as always a big hit.
RI President's speech should be on rotary.org.
Carol and I visited temples I the afternoon.
Word of the day is Wat, it means temple. There are 411 in Bangkok.
We saw a HUGE reclining Budha image and the largest golden Budha image.
The story just above from Wikipedia tells the interesting story of the golden Budha discovery.

We continued back to the hotel and onto a bus to the Southland cruise and saw the sites lit up along the river. By the time we returned to the hotel by bus, it was midnight and we were worn out yet again.
Pictures to come.
