We also visited a small community of artisans that hand make alms bowls, the small bowls that Buddhist monks use to collect offerings, in the traditional method of hammering steel and copper.

The Emerald Buddha
The Temple of the Emerald Buddha was the highlight of our day today. Located within the Grand Palace in Bangkok, the Emerald Buddha, which is actually made of jade, is one of the most revered images of the Buddha in the world. The Temple itself is entirely covered in a breathtakingly colorful mosaic of glass, tile and stone.
