This morning we had another short trip to watch more temples. There are an endless rows of them.

	First thing in the morning, Martin's 2000 meters swim. Today, he started at 0550 to get finished in time. Martin on his way into the first temple of the day. It was 4 altogether.
	Our tour guide Steve. His favorite phrase was "What can I say", and he said it every 20 seconds. Our first Buddha of the day. All golden. What a waste of resources. This is a very lifelike wax monk.
	The same was monk. Our golden temple from the outside. Local monks very much alive.
	Golden elephant of the main golden one. The main golden temple. Phrawihan Laikam placard.
	A water wheel making a nice cracking sound. Wisdom words from Buddha.
	Big tree in the middle of the compound. It is quite nice actually.
	Another building. A cable running up to the top for what?
	Dress code for visiting tourists. Wat Chiang Man plachard.
	Very nice outside. So is the silver Buddha, a new twist from gold.
	Nice painting. Old building under maintenance. Jack fruit is one of the biggest one in Thailand.
	Our bus. The alcohol laws has been tightened up with a lot of new laws that is not enforced.
	Impressive golden Buddha in the end. These shrines are used for ashes of famous monks. Enormous hallways around the altars in the temples.
	More shrines. White memorial shrines for monks.
	The massive brick temple was 90 meters high, but an earthquake reduced it to 60 meters. Three kings from the old dynasty.
	Refurbished. Golden shrine.

The next day, Friday April 1^st, it was time for a full day's trip.
