Family visit: Phetchaburi – 25th day continued – Trip April 2012
Some 70km after our departure from Hua Hin we were on the outskirts of Petchaburi when my parents asked to stop there, while we were at it, it was on the road and we might as well enjoy this last day in a different way than driving straight to Bangkok. There aren't even any temples in this city, if you have the opportunity.
The decorations are numerous and varied.
The temple is next to an old football field... in the background you can see the chedi of another temple located on the hill next door.
The upper part of this temple is all made of wood, impossible to say if it is recent or not because the rest of the complex seems more modern, or otherwise well renovated.
"Up there on the hill"
Mix of styles.
"We're the guys from the mariiiiineee"
From the street next to the temple we see another one which we were heading towards immediately.
The city has a whole line of statues, all different.
Many of the houses here are still old wooden shacks.
This one is rather in ruins...
When a brand new house is being built right next door.
A leap in time.
Seen!
This part of the temple was closed...
So as not to forget the name...
The paintings in this temple are in need of renovation.

Very hot today, sitting in the shade is essential.
Apprentices in the middle of washing.
After this photo we got back in the car and got back on the road, before stopping even further away at the salt marshes.
Change of scenery.
This concludes this month-long trip across the country.
