Bangpu Recreation


Bangpu Recreation.com สถานตากอากาศบางปู is somewhere we came to because there was an enormous lot of traffic - after we had visited ธรรมกตัญญู (เสียนหลอไต้เทียนกง) - which must be done.



The Bangpu Recreation is at the end of a long pier. This specific pier however is very long and there are a great number of seagulls flying overhead.




At one end there are also people selling food for you to feed them.




Someone also created a love heart of sticks in the water for the seagulls to sit on.



Getting to the end of the pier there was a very large restaurant - which was extremely popular - and we walked to the very end and chose not to eat there and ate elsewhere - Mae Cuisine.

Wat Tamru


Wat Tamru วัดตำหรุ was somewhere we saw on the way to Samut Prakan and we chose to visit on the way back.




From the outside it was a typical beautiful Wat - okay there was a difference - there was Iron Man, The Incredible Hulk and a dragon near the front.


And Buddhist statues.

 


Then entering the adjacent temple I found something else - floors of reflecting beauty. It was stunning.




Wonderful.



Then at the top of the building...



And more statues...



But it was certainly something that I had not seen previously - wonderful.

ศาลเจ้ามูลนิธิธรรมกตัญญู - Samut Prakan


We saw ศาลเจ้ามูลนิธิธรรมกตัญญู (เสียนหลอไต้เทียนกง / 暹罗代天宫) when were travelling to 
Samut Prakan.  



Then when I began to try to find about it this I was quite struck with how little there was (or it was in Thai and/or Chinese). Apart from Richard Barrow who has also visited there.



The entrance is really quite un-dramatic.



Then on entering into an enormous courtyard the area is very large and the amount of buildings is extensive and off to the right is quite a large garden.




So we started in the gardens - beautifully maintained.



Even the lizard liked them.


The corridors blended with the garden.


Back into the main building - the corridors were immaculate.




and the areas between were immaculate.




And the doorways were exquisite.



The walk ways between some of the buildings were quite stunning.




Then the displays were very intricate.








Even the roofs were worth looking at.






Whilst you are looking up then their are some quite wonderful ceilings. This was certainly a wonderful Chinese Shrine to visit - thank you.
