The biggest Reclining Buddha
The wat and the reclining Buddha were built by Rama III in 1832.
The image of the reclining Buddha represents the entry of Buddha into Nirvana and the end of all reincarnations.
The posture of the image is referred to as sihasaiyas, the posture of a sleeping or reclining lion.
The figure is 15 m high and 46 m long, and it is one of the largest Buddha statues in Thailand.

Skagway
Visiting Skagway is like going back in time to the gold-rush era. Not far from the cruise ship terminal is Broad Street, where there are restaurants, cafes, souvenir shops, and plenty of gem shops. The small town is part of the Klondike Gold Rush National Historic Park and offers excursions on the White Pass and Yukon Route Railroad and gold-panning experiences. We didn’t have time to do a full excursion but strolled around this quaint gold-rush town, picked up some souvenirs, and grabbed some food from local food trucks.

Famous two “Wat” to visit in Bangkok
On Monday, 29/0523, it was scotched hot, reaching a temperature of 36°c, me and a group of 3 friends alighted at Itsaraphap MRT station and walked about 15mins to a wonderful temple named Wat Arun. It costs about 100 baht (for foreigners) to enter and they gave us a bottle of the bottle labeled Wat Arun. The entire territory of the temple is beautiful and very well kept. In the middle of the temple there was a tower 82 metres high. It looks out of this world. I would recommend going up the steep stairs and savoring the view over Bangkok and its rivers and greenery. Opening hours: daily from 8:00 am to 5:30 pm
It's time to cross the river to the beautiful Wat Pho (known for the famous recumbent statue of Buddha). It cost us about 5baht each per trip to Wat Pho via ferry boat. It costs approximately 200 baht (for foreigners) to enter, quite a large amount for the entrance. However, the experiences and cognizance that I gained were worth it. The reclining Buddha is 46 m long and 15 m high, located in a sheltered temple. Along the way, there are bronze bowls with 108 coins for you to drop onto each bowls provided The staff stated that it will bring you luck! It is "free" to obtain the coins, but a donation of 20 Baht is required. Wat Pho hours of operation: Daily 8am to 630pm
All in all, it's been a hell of a warm, sweaty day but both temples were not a disappointment. Recommend to go take some photos and learn something about Thailand, Bangkok. #WatArunSnaps #WatPhoSnaps #BangkokWeather #MRTstation #WalkingDead #Gold #Magnificient #Rich #Cheap
All that GLITTERS is the GRAND PALACE!
Finally made it to the Grand Palace after countless trips to Bangkok!
Finally know why throngs of people, tourists and locals alike, make an effort to pay a visit to this monumental attraction!
The palace grounds are sprawling, and each structure and statue was built with utmost intricacy and opulence.
Be prepared to allocate a few hours for a thorough exploration!

Gold Coast!
the Gold Coast was easily one of my highlights of visiting Australia
we got the three park pass and it was amazing if you love theme parks as much as me I definitely recommend getting it! we went to Warner Bros, Sea World and Wet n Wild! they were all so amazing
definitely my favourite park overall was the Warner Bros studios it had some amazing rides and it wasn’t too busy so there wasn’t a lot of queues, but also they have some shows on like stunt shows and dancing performances
we also went to the sky point observation deck we had lunch up there and the food was amazing as was the views. nothing better than having lunch with an incredible view

Evening Canapes and Cocktail
Evening canapes at Fairmont Gold lounge start from 6 to 8pm with unlimited alcohol beverages. Quite heavy meal also offered here so its like having dinner. The menu that time was briyani, yakitori, taupok, salad, fishcake, sandwich, fried mantou with chili crab sauce, butter chicken, cakes and freeflow alcohol!
As usual, I ordered mimosa. Its not on menu but specially made by bartender. Taste not bad and not too strong. White wine/champagne there is not nice though. Overall, it was quite okay.
Please note that you should wear formal/casual with no shorts and slippers allowed.

Gold Lounge
Fairmont Gold lounge located at level 28, I was asked to wait here for the room to be ready. It doesn't offer much in afternoon, only dessert/kueh and snacks.
Quite cosy and great place to chill, feel like in living room instead of lounge. View from here face marina bay area which is so nice. Good for relaxing.
Snacks are self service but drinks need to be requested. No alcohol until 6pm. Welcome drink vouchers were given as accor+ member and can be redeem almost everywhere here that offer alcohol beverages or bars.

Tankavaara Gold Museum
Tankavaara Gold Museum is located adjacent to the Gold Village. It was built to the authentic environment, near one of the Lapland Gold rush sites. Actually there’s still regular gold panning going on in the area.
The museum is well made and contains a lot of old gold panning equipment and some video performances as well. The admission is not expensive (12 euros for an adult and 6 euros for a kid and 27 euros for a family in 2021). The museum is open from 10 am until 5 pm during the summer and until 4 pm during the winter.
From the museum shop you can buy some gold rush related souvenirs. The gold village is also within walking distance from the museum and you can plan your visit to include both of these sites.
The museum is located just next to the main road 4 (E75) and it’s located about 100 km north from the town of Sodankyla and 30 km south from Saariselka winter sports resort.
If you plan to hike a little in the UKK National Park, some paths (Tankavaara geological path) starts from there and you can park your car there for free.
