Bangkok

the official thai name for bangkok is:
Krung Thep Mahanakhon Amon Rattanakosin Mahinthara Ayuthaya Mahadilok Phop Noppharat Ratchathani Burirom Udomratchaniwet Mahasathan Amon Piman Awatan Sathit Sakkathattiya Witsanukam Prasit!!!

so i started my bustrip on friday night and arrived at 4am in the city of angels. still very tired i went to the wonderful wat pho to see a huge laying buddhastatue. on the other side of the street there is the big wat phra keow and the grand palace.
the wat phra keow is one of the most important wats (temples) in thailand and has got a very unfamiliar but impressing architecture.
the grand palace, which can not be visited inside, is still used of the king for official representations.

the national museum with its stones and museum stuffs reminded me at home, at working in my museum.


on the next day i went to the king mongkuts institut of technology - KMIT where i met some IAESTE thailand members as well as other exchange students. during the day i had a lot of fun in playing soccer, volleyball, basketball and badminton with them although my bones and muscels are still hurting.

here are some photos:
