A little bit of France in Bangkok : La résidence de France

 

Since few years , the street of the french embassy has a new name : rue de Brest

Tribute to the " rue de Siam " located in Brest , Brittany , France

garden of the Résidence of France in Bangkok with flying french flag

"la Vieille Dame " ( the old lady) deserves its name ....

on the banks of the Chao Phraya river , it ( she) is surrounded by a fantastic old colonial building ( the former customs building) and on the other side the mythic "L'oriental " hotel .

There is an atmosphere of : " Luxe , calme et volupté "

If you want to see more pictures of " ce petit bout de France" , check here

 

one day in a buddhist temple

We had a meeting at the temple to spend the day with a monk ...

Buddhism is about garlands of flowers , incense , candles

make a wish and knock the gong with all your energy

Buddhism is about praying and following the rules of Buddha

Buddhism is about releasing birds and fishes and make a wish

Buddhism is about offerings and offering food to the monks

Buddhism is about Nam Mön ( holy water)

and it is also about contemplation

Sunday with Madame Poulet ( Madame Chicken)
