A charming rendition of the Thai version of the Indian epic, the Ramayana, illustrated with the 152 bas-reliefs from Wat Phra Jetubon, Bangkok (better known to many as Wat Po). Even those very familiar with the Ramayana will enjoy this version, where the hero is Phra Ram and the heroine Nang [Lady] Seeda and the Demon King of Lanka, Totsagan. The Thai version is a much rowdier version than the Indian, perhaps reflecting the Thais more casual attitudes towards the weaknesses of humans (and gods) and their pleasure in life and its enjoyment (sanuk). In this version, Hanuman dallies with a number of lovely maidens, even fathering a son by one who eventually will play a small role in helping Hanuman in the 14-year epoch wars that re-unite Ram and Seeda.

Almost ninety miles north of Bangkok lies Wat Phra Phutthabaht, the Temple of the Buddha's Footprint. In February 1807, four days before the Magha Puja holiday, members of Bangkok's royal courts set out on pilgrimage for the Footprint, an annual tradition already two centuries old at that time.
