Geo(Bangkok)Caching

It really is great using geocaching to sightsee. You have history (or
not) at your fingertips as you wander around seeing new things.

We didn't do any geocaching in Chiang Mai as there were none in our
area and few in the city but we had an opportunity to try out our
skills in Bangkok. And we found three of four caches wandering around.

The first one was outside a girls catholic school that was built in
1925. The fun part of the history is that there is a LTR station
right above the school and also a very high wall at that station
blocking the view of the school. The reason is because the school
fought against the transit line as they didn't want dirty minded men
looking down on the girls doing sports in the schoolyard. The school
lost (thank goodness as that transit line is a lifesaver) but in
exchange they were able to preserve the purity of the young girls with
the high wall at the train station. Other stations don't have that
wall.

The second cache is outside a monster shopping center (which is
extremely impressive!) but he purpose is to point out the Erawan
Shrine that you can see in photo four. This shrine was built to
overcome the bad karma that was created when laying the foundations
for a nearby hotel on the wrong day. Lots of problems occurred and
many workers died until the karma was "fixed" by the erection of the
shrine. Now people pray there regularly.

The third photo is a cache at the entrance to the transit station near
our hotel. And that's about it for that.

And that is our two days in Bangkok!

I love you!
