23 December 2015. Golden Temple and boat up the Chaopraya to Nonthaburi

This morning, I went first to Hualamphong station to get the times of trains to Ayuttaya for tomorrow. I was in an area familiar to me from last year and I set out to take a look at the Golden Buddha Wat. It looked splendid in the sun.

Then I went up Song Wat road, taking a few photos on the way.

I caught a boat going North, planning to get off at Wat Khema. The journey did not afford many photos.

When we got to t0 Wat Khema, I thought it looked less enticing than I hope, so I stuck with the boat to its end point - Nonthaburi.

This proved a good decision. It was an interesting area and I wandered around for an hour or so.

The boat back gave the opportunities for some photos as we got near the end. The north section does not offer many views but from the Royal Palace it gets a lot more interesting.

Some of the architecture is weird. One building seems to be trying to be a Siem Reap entry.

At the end, I got the skytrain to the station near the hotel. Outside, they were trying to make a film with the traffic swirling by.
