"Do you wish to rise? Begin by descending. You plan a tower that will pierce the clouds? Lay first the foundation of humility." - Saint Augustine _ The golden chedi at Wat Bowonniwet Vihara in Bangkok, Thailand. _ This contains the relics and ashes of Thai royals. Many royal princes and kings have studied and served their monkhood at this Buddhist temple, including King Bhumibol and his son, the present king Vajiralongkorn. _ While in Bangkok we stayed at @shamalakeviewasoke. These modern self-contained apartments are suited both for short and long stays. Highly recommended! _ Travel tip: Getting around Bangkok has been easy thanks to @tepwireless 🌟🌟🌟.
