Holiday in Thailand, Bangkok part 1

We've just got back from a holiday in Bangkok in Thailand. We were there for 6 days and had a great time. We went to lots of different places.

On the day we arrived we went to Jim Thompson's House. It was really fun. First we went to the garden and saw lots of plants. We went on a tour and we got to go in his house. The lady told us about Thai wooden houses not being made with nails, but Jim Thompson made his house with nails.
He came to Thailand in the 2nd World War. She also spoke about Thai people believing that people with long ears live long and healthy lives and people whose ears curve in a certain way at the top being clever.

The next day we went to Wat Arun. Wat means temple. It was very high and big and took over 60 years to build. We went up a very steep staircase and my mum took some photos of me and my little brother, then we went up more stairs and took more photos.We did not climb to the very top because the stairs were very steep. So we went down to the bottom where there were Buddha statues and a place where you could pray with a monk. We didn't do it though.
At last our dad and my big brother came down. He said we were chickens for not going to the top. I said it was because he was taking too long taking photos and I would have come if he didn't take so long.

I liked Wat Arun because we got to climb up lots of stairs, take lots of photos and it was very interesting.

Another day we went to the Grand Palace and looked around. It was very hot that day. We went around and took lots of photos. The Grand Palace is very big. We saw the Emerald Buddha in the temple.On the last day we went to the Snake Farm. The man took out a King Cobra and said it was the longest cobra in the world. Then he asked if anyone wanted to help catch the King Cobra but no one put their hand up. Then he took out two cobras and said they were one of the most venomous snakes in the world. They also had Pit Vipers. After, we went to the mini snake museum.
