Thailand Phetchaburi

Phetchaburi, a quite traditional old town which is full of surprises. After a long and hot train ride from Bangkok we arrived in "temple ville".



Over 30 different temples decorate the city landscape. Tough we are quite "templed out" after Cambodia, the wooden carving on the front of the buildings put them into a complete different light than the ones in Bangkok, where everything was super gold and super mosaic and super super.




The next morning we visited some mysterious stalactite caves. But apart from the caves the real attraction was once again on the outside. Monkeys, the cute but hungry ones. Because when Jan bought some bananas the monkeys gathered around him, waiting for a little treat. At first the little ones approached first. Some started pulling his pants like children who want something from their parents. Some others jumped up to the hight of his hands and stole a banana or two. But by the time the big monkey came, the little ones hid behind the trees to watch "fezzo" get all the delights. The monkey would sit in front of Jans feet and stare at him. When Jan decided to give him some the monkey would stand up and pick it out of his hands.
