Aiken was so attracted to the fishes that we had a hard time getting him to leave. Time for lunch....hungry...

We ended up having lunch at Chester's Grill which is actually something like KFC.
But the chicken is actually quite good!!! Spend 199 baht for a family meal, 2 sets of chicken, 1 spaghetti, fries and drinks.

We left Central Airport Plaza at about 1600h for Wat Pra Singh. The temple is located at the end of Ratchadamnoen Road which bisects the old city, running from the Tapae gate all the way to the temple, which is just inside of the Suan Dok gate. Wat Phra Singh was founded in the 14th century to enshrine the ashes of King Kam Fu.

The moment you step into Wat Pra Singh, you are greeted by a parking area...haha..
This is a photo of the Tuk Tuk. So named because of the sound of their engine, these are motorized rickshaws and are popular amongst tourists for their novelty value. Fares always have to be bargained. It's essential to bargain the price with tuk-tuks before getting in.

Photo of a Chedi, which usually contains ashes of a King or relic of buddha.

Statues stand guard to the entrance of the Wiharn.
The Wiharn houses important buddhas where people come to pray and pay their respect.
