November Rain · 16-12-2007, 11:22 AM

Obviously, we went inside and it was just as gorgeous inside. No photography was allowed, obviously, but I'm sure you guys would have loved to see it. Every single wall was in red and gold with murals of Thai life painted everywhere. It was like a maze inside, with doorways and staircases leading to terraces and different entrances & courtyards. I actually got lost trying to find the way we had come in, to recover our shoes.

Here are a few views from the upper terraces

Notice the little round niches near the top containing statues? Wat Thang Sai was designed by HM the King's Royal Architect and was his last commission before he died, so it is a fairly new building.

Isn't that view breathtaking? It was such a beautiful, peaceful place.

November Rain · 16-12-2007, 11:27 AM

^^ Well I dunno what they're called, DD. My knowledge of Thai religious buildings is very limited

It's time to leave now. The buses were waiting for us & time to go back to Hua Hin in air conditioned comfort (but no music

)

That's the end of the trip and the thread. If anyone wants more info or is interested on going on a Jazz Train trip (the next is 26th Dec and a couple are planned for January) the website is Hua Hin Jazz Train

and, no, they are nothing to do with me.

Excellent stuff NR. The trip to that Wat and the area will make an excellent day's excursion from Hua Hin when I'm next there in April. Will look forward to it!

I enjoyed this thread very much, would love to do more jass or western music tours or stay at places where they played. Is there a web site where a person could look up places to heargood music (no rap) thanks

gos · 17-12-2007, 06:37 PM

Well done NR great thread and photos I like the one over the island that was a long way up

November Rain · 17-12-2007, 07:09 PM

^ Thanks. That's one of my faves, too

thai-papa-jim · 17-12-2007, 08:26 PM

Great report - many thanks. Some nice photos there too. Certainly made me think about going on one of the trips next year.

How, when, where can one get info about the Jazz train? Looks great, thanks for the thread.

She's gonna chop your balls off just like she does to her dogs

November Rain · 18-07-2008, 07:58 AM

Didn't know you'd updated this, DD. Can't view the vids. Which jazz train journey was this taken on? Jizzy's got me really worried, 'cos I was wearing a pink top on the first day...

CharleyFarley · 18-07-2008, 10:14 AM

Hatless, sleeveless, very dark short hair and pretty in pink
