Singapore Hunting - Chinatown complex

( CHINATOWN Complex )

Visited Singapore again, this trip i found another interesting place for hunting. I snap few photo and now is a time to share with you.

Last trip i have no enough time at China town, but today i found another market near to PAGODA street and also near to Chinatown MRT station. Here except banknotes and coins, still can get the old CD, old book, souvenir, antique bowl, collection stamp, handiwork, old doll collection and somemore antiques drawing. If you are a collector, sure you interested on this street. Enjoy with the photo i taken. Thanks!

2nd day Hunting at Bangkok

Wat phra kaew - Grand Palace

Wat Phra Kaew (English: Temple of the Emerald Buddha, full official name Wat Phra Sri Rattana Satsadaram) is regarded as the most sacred Buddhist temple (wat) in Thailand. It is located in the historic center of Bangkok (district Phra Nakhon), within the grounds of the Grand Palace.

The construction of the temple started when King Buddha Yodfa Chulaloke (Rama I) moved the capital from Thonburi to Bangkok in 1785. Unlike other temples it does not contain living quarters for monks; rather, it has only the highly decorated holy buildings, statues, and pagodas.

After visited Wat Phra Kaew, i found few banknote and coins stalls seller opposite grand palace. But price is higher, mostly they sell to foreign tourist.
