Bus Trip Thailand · 2025

April 13, 2025

What do you expect to find in Thailand? Isn't it just the country of beaches, alcohol, and one-night stands? Sure, you can find that, too. But there is so much else. Like ultra-cool temples, which can give you the impression that you've just been beamed through a portal into another world and time. A world of exuberant artisanal gold, fine silver handcrafts, colorful prayer flags, tinkling bells, chanting monks, forest temples, stone temples, war ruins, and royal palaces. Wow. By the end, we are so over-templed that it's almost impossible to process all these intense perceptions.

So I just stand there. Barefoot. No shoes are allowed in temples. The ground is warm, the evening sun lies low over the tropical trees with their huge leaves, the outlines of an oversized Buddha statue dark but softly against the sky.

Thailand's temples are a world of their own. Each one completely unique, each with its own color and atmosphere. Let's beam through the portal and go there!
