Visiting Sri Mahamariamman Temple, Bangkok

Lyn, my best friend, asked me to visit Sri Mahamariamman Temple for good luck. So, we set a day off to visit the temple together.

Sri Mahamariamman Temple, Bangkok, is a Hindu temple that is situated in the business area called Silom and was built on 1879.
The daily rituals at the temple are conducted in the afternoon. The temple remains open to the public from 6 am to 8 pm, from Saturday to Thursday, and from 6 am to 9 pm on Fridays. Make sure that you remove your shoes before stepping over any of the lines around the shrines.

Taking photos are not allowed inside the temple, so here I have photos from outside the temple and across the street where they sell the wreaths to worship at Sri Mahamariamman.

Happy Chinese New Year

Happy Chinese New Year everybody!!! There are many Thai-Chinese in Thailand, so there were ceremonies in many places. Here are some photos I have taken from the Mall I visited today.

Mini review << Ancient City >>

The Ancient city can be considered as an outdoor Thai art museum with a wide range of architectural symbols combined with fine arts and craftsmanship, structural layouts and a natural environment. There are structures built which mimic counterparts from every part of Thailand. Visiting one place, you can see the architectural styles from the whole country!

== How to go ==

The ancient city is situated in Bangkok’s outskirts, but is easy to access by bus, taxi or car.

It is open daily from 08.00 am - 17.00 pm.  The entrance fee costs 400 baht per person. There are many ways to look around, such as by bicycle, golf cart, or trolley.

As the weather was really hot, we weren’t there for long (took 2 rounds of the trolley tour).

Please come take a tour with us ..

Happy New Year 2011!!!

I wish all the best in the year 2011 to everybody!!!
