Mr. Ding took Zhou Sen to Khao San Road in Bangkok, Thailand, Khao San Road is a street in Bangkok, the capital of Thailand, which is a gathering place for backpackers, and is very famous in the local area.

Speaking about the history of Khao San Road, Mr. Ding told Zhou Sen: "Tourists from all over the world flock to Khao San Road, where there is a shortage of accommodation, and some backpackers look for accommodation on Khao San Road, which is only a 20-minute walk from the palace, and the local residents decide to accept these tourists at a low price. ”

There are several times more tourists here than the locals, and it feels like Khao San Road is for tourists from afar, and Zhou Sen is among the crowds, feeling that it is bustling here, with passing tourists ranging from men with backpacks to women with small bags crossbody, and the crowd slowly moves forward, which is very lively.

Khao San Road has always been popular with backpackers because of its proximity to tourist attractions such as the Grand Palace and the National Museum and Art Gallery of Thailand, with one British tourist even setting up a website for it, and the street has its own network of groups.

"It's quite interesting because it's close to tourist attractions, and this street brings popularity, and with popularity, there are business opportunities, and I think the vendors on this street know how to cater to the needs of tourists. Zhou Sen said as he walked.

"Yes, foreign tourists, foreign tourists bustling crowd, some people will have business opportunities, Thai businessmen are also very shrewd, they know too well what tourists need, people who come here to travel, some are not with the travel agency with the group, because the cost of the group is more expensive, if you come to travel by yourself, commonly known as backpackers, also known as travelers, refers to people who travel around in groups of three or five or alone, that is, people who carry backpacks to do long-distance self-guided travel. ”

"Backpackers, advocating is to spend the least money, go the farthest, see the scenery that is difficult for others to see, they are self-guided travel, where to go, unrestrained, and not limited by the time of travel agencies with the group, you can arrange time and accommodation according to your own itinerary, the price is affordable, and it is much cheaper than with the group. ”

"But everything has pros and cons, the advantage is that this way of travel is free, you can control the time and itinerary by yourself, according to your own preferences, to plan the route and go to which attractions of interest, the disadvantage is that you need to find your own information, plan the route, buy equipment, estimate the travel time, calculate the little money in hand, calculate how much money will cost tomorrow, everything has to rely on yourself, not as labor-saving as the group, don't worry about whether you can buy a ticket, and don't worry about whether you can sleep on the street if you can't find a place to live。 ”

"Of course, not all travel can go to a travel agency with a group, after all, the price of the group is more expensive, choose according to their own preferences, they and friends travel with more and more backpackers, want to go, free and chic, with the development of backpackers, the influence in the society is also increasing, the attention is getting bigger and bigger, more and more people join the backpacker family, more and more companies are beginning to turn their attention to backpackers, seize this business opportunity, to provide services for them, but also for local businessmen to make money。 ”

"Take this street as an example, this is the phenomenon that has been formed when backpackers come more. ”

"Small but full of organs", the short street is a base camp for backpackers and the best office for tourists, with dozens of hostels, as well as cheap hostels, restaurants, internet service stations, pharmacies, photo processing shops, ATMs and more to other countries in Southeast Asia.

There are so many tourists from different countries, with different accents, most of them in English, and a few who can communicate in Thai, and if they don't understand, they can make gestures, and the other party can roughly guess what it means.

Teacher Ding took Zhou Sen out of this small street and went to see the Wat Pho.

"There are a lot of temples in Thailand, especially in Bangkok, there are several temples, if you don't go to the temples in Thailand, you can't understand their religious beliefs, let's go, I'll take you to see them. ”

"Good!"

Wat Pho, located in Phra Nakhon District, Bangkok, Thailand, is a temple built in 1793 during the Ayutthaya Dynasty, the reclining Buddha in Wat Pho is the world's largest reclining Buddha, 46 meters long, 15 meters high, the sole of each foot is up to 5 meters, and there are 108 Buddha patterns engraved on it.

Zhou Sen was very interested in the world's largest reclining Buddha, and he asked Teacher Ding curiously: "Teacher Ding, why is it a lying Buddha instead of a sitting one, or a standing Buddha statue?

"The posture of the Buddha lying down, in the expression of the Buddha's pursuit of Nirvana's posture, his right hand on the head, the whole body lying on the side, leisurely on the altar, this to the abbot of the Tao can interpret the profundity, I only know some of the fur, this posture may reflect the want to transcend the profound realm, condensed profound wisdom. ”

"This temple was built in 1793 in the Ayutthaya Dynasty, there is a historical background at that time, at that time, the construction of the reclining Buddha is huge, after being built with bricks and stones, in the gold leaf lacquer, and to carve one exquisite pattern after another on such a huge body, the difficulty can be imagined, the builder's respect and worship of the Buddha, with their own hard work to sacrifice their own faith, whether it is design, or construction to strive for perfection, excellence, this is not an easy thing, can be preserved to this day, can be presented in front of tourists, it is already a miracle。 ”

The Drathe Hall can be called the most gorgeous building in the temple, the crown-shaped spire, the colorful spire and the roof, the twelve-cornered square hall are all extremely gorgeous, even the door in the Buddha hall is also decorated with 3 spires, inlaid with colored porcelain, every corner has a strong Thai characteristics, visitors can remember it as soon as they enter, and they can still not forget it for a long time, perhaps this is the charm of Thai temples.

Wat Arun, also known as Temple of Dawn, is a temple dedicated to the 41st king of Thailand and national hero Chung Chao. It was built in the Ayutthaya Dynasty and was called Huangguan Temple at that time, and later renamed Chang Temple.

Located in the twin cities of Thonburi on the west bank of the Chao Phraya River in Thailand, Temple of Dawn is a famous temple in Thailand and one of the royal temples of Thailand, which is associated with the national hero of Chinese descent Zheng Zhao, who led the army to drive out the Burmese enemy, save the rivers and mountains, and founded the Thonburi dynasty.
