Our Saturday on the Chao Phraya
Today we explored more of Bangkok using the boats that run up and down the Chao Phraya river. We visited Wat Pho, home of the largest reclining Buddha in Thailand (pictured above). The Buddha is 46 meters long and 15 meters high. The reclining posture illustrates the Buddha's passage into nirvana. Eliza amazed us by saying "Buddha night-night" when she saw it.
The girls did a great job. We rode on three buses, four trains, three boats, and a motorcycle taxi before the trip was over. Their endurance and their ability to sleep in strange places have definitely increased. Here is Eliza sleeping on the boat.
