Bangkok 02 07 Lucky Buddha  [12 of 27]


The tuk-tuk driver has to make some extra money somehow. Our next stop was one of those. We visited the so-called Lucky Buddha, supposedly only open one day a year, and this was our lucky day. This is really just an average temple. The caretaker was very friendly and had supposedly had visited Canada a few times. If we were looking for some of the famous Thai jewelry, he recommended a certain shop. We went there, and yes, we bought something. We were quite satisfied. He then took us to a suit shop, but we simply said no, and we were off again to finish our tour at Wat Saket. We paid the tuk-tuk driver his 100 Baht and gave him a tip of another 100 Baht. The tour was a lot of fun.
