Condiments for Sharkfin in claypot

Birdnest 200baht each - one blood, one white with sweetened red dates, longans and gingko nuts to go with. More value for money than that in MBK and quality is very much better. Very yummy and nice!

Blood birdnest

Order stir fried Kang Kong - 100baht - Portion was so big it can feed 4-5persons. We cannot finish. Tasty.

Claypot sharkfin - 1000 baht - not very big sharkfins tho.

Shrimp and crab fried Rice - 200baht - recommended by restaurant. Again, gigantic portion but it was very delicious!

We were so stuffed that we could not take in any more food so we decided to head back to hotel. Also, it was very hot!
En route to Hua Lamphong Station, Tian Hua Hospital


We crossed over to Wat Traimit Wittayaram (Temple of Golden Buddha)

Wat Traimit


Wat Traimit Wittayaram - We did not go in as admission fee of 20baht was required. Just took picture from outside.
Wat Traimit Wittayaram is better known as the “Temple of the Golden Buddha” and possesses a three meter high, five ton solid golden Buddha image and an exquisite work of craftsmanship. The Buddha in solid gold was discovered by accident in 1957, when it was accidentally dropped by a crane and its outer shell of plaster disintegrated, revealing the true composition of the statue. Historians believe the golden Buddha had been covered with plaster to hide its value from an invading Burmese army.
