Wat Tong Pu is situated in the Lopburi province. The term Tong Pu means the place for soldiers to muster before battle. Wat Tong Pu is considered an ancient Maha Nikaya Mon temple in Lopburi.
It's unknown when it was built but it was restored in the reign of King Narai during the Ayuttaya period. Some characteristics of the Mon and the Laos people has apparently influenced the artistry such as the Cabinets for the Tripitaka in the temple hall and the gilded black lacquer door panels of the wihan.
This ancient temple is very significant as a religious site from the Ayutthaya period. The temple is still in good excellent and there are monks still in residence.
The base of the wihan is a lotus flower shaped pedestal for the Buddhist image where the statue of the Buddha is meditating in Khmer-Lopburi style. The stone boundary markers, the sermon hall has a curved base, lancet windows and curve roofing tiles. These are all architectural styles used during the reign of King Narai.

For decades, Trok Mor morning market has been going strong right under the noses of travellers in the historic Rattanakosin district. For most travelers they never get a chance to explore some of the narrow sois (streets) in Thailand. If you adventure out you get to see scenes like this being played out everyday, at all times of the day as well, in Bangkok.
The market along Trok Mor (aka Soi Thesa) quietly takes place every morning within easy walking distance of Bangkok’s biggest tourist attractions. Many of the vendors have spent a lifetime here.
Trok Mor looks and feels like it was frozen in a time before glossy highrises and shopping malls came to define much of Bangkok.
You are near Khao San Road but free of the hustle of people trying to sell you a tour or something you are not interested in. Prices seem 15 years behind the rest of the city as well as free from the oppressive atmosphere you find in more touristy places.

Gurdwara Siri Guru Singh Sabha Sikh Temple is the 2nd largest Sikh temple outside of India. It’s located in the “old town” of Bangkok in what is known as Little India.
The gold dome of the temple stands out and is difficult to miss. The entrance is a bit more hidden but it is close to the Pahurat Market. This market sells colorful textiles on the streets as well as a 4 story mall near the temple. The temple is open to the public everyday and closes at 10:00 am.
The temple is well worth a visit if you are in the area and is a nice addition to a holiday especially if you’ve already done a few Thai temple tours. From the 6th story of the temple you can see some nice views of the area and see up into nearby Chinatown.
This construction has some historical and cultural value in that it actually dates back to 1932 and is the second largest Sikh temple outside of India.
The temple has something of a reputation for being welcoming, a fact made obvious by the daily buffet of vegetarian food ...
