Bangkok, Thailand

Jennifer, Holly, and Amanda have started on another adventure and stop at Bangkok, Thailand. There are many great sites to see in Bangkok, Thailand. They jogged in the morning at Lumpini Park. This park is a big open space with playgrounds, a public library, and a dance hall. They also shop at the Siam Center where there's a lot of clothes and small cafes. They also go to Wat Pho, the largest and oldest temple in the city that houses the Reclining Buddha. This famous forty-six meter long and 15 meter high statue is designed to represent the passage of the Buddha to Nirvana. Nirvana is the belief of being free of suffering. This statue is decorated entirely with gold plating and mother-of-pearl engravings on his eyes and soles of his feet. The three girls go to the great flower market where there are a lot of stands with flower traders from all over the world. The three great friends have a great time in Bangkok and can't believe the time that has passed by.
