Back in Bangkok again for one more day. We visited the Palace Temple complex. It was impressive, but jam packed with tourists. It seems the Thai people never forgot that the James Bond movie "Man With The Golden Gun" was largely filmed here, and they never miss a chance to impress this fact on tourists.
Here is one of the Thai longboats, now called "James Bond boats". These boats appear to be basically a long narrow boat with V6 engine on the back end, connected to a long shaft with a propeller on the end. When they crank up the engine and lower the propeller shaft into the water, it really gets moving!
Also saw the humongous Reclining Buddha.
