Day 2 – Bangkok 2018

March 26, 2018

I took the ferry that runs along one of Bangkok’s numerous canals at Pratunam pier.

I got off at the Wat Si Bun Ruang stop.

 

Airplane Graveyard

After walking around ten minutes, I reached the famous Bangkok Airplane Graveyard.

It was quite the experience seeing these old planes. The big double decker one is a Boeing 747 and the smaller ones were DC-10s.

After lunch at a food court near the Airplane Graveyard, I took a taxi to the Ghost Bride Shrine. It’s inside the Wat Mahabut temple complex.
