Cha Am September 2018

We spent a night in Nakhon Pathom on the way to Cha Am


Diary Home restaurant in Pak Chong near Khao Yai National Park

Pad Thai Tortilla and Steak

Vanilla Sky restaurant in Nakhon Pathom. They had a huge selection of craft beer in cans and bottles. This is Mirror Pond Pale Ale on tap.

Nice to have a hotel that understands our charging needs.

Wat Cha Am Kiri

I did my longish bicycle ride to Wat Cha Am Kiri and then on into the foothills above Cha Am

From Wat Cha Am I Headed to the Si Sattaya Priest's Camp Site

Main worship hall. Everything was in Chinese and I wasn't allowed to take photos inside.

Another building with lots of interesting stuff.

Sukhothai style Buddha Image

More stuff. Is that Jimi Hendrix in the framed photo?

This is Guan Im, which is what the Thais call the Buddhist bodhisattva of compassion

I told Mam I was on the way home, but hadn't yet decided on a route. She kindly sent me this Thai-style map showing the way.

This was at Wat Hup Kapong on the way home. Is it a Buddha image, Moai, or what?

Burial chedi at Wat Hup Kapong.

Lunch at Jit Pochana near Thew Talay Estate. This is chicken baked in pandanus leaves.
