green acres is the place to be

oliver: the chores!
zsa zsa (i can't remember her character's name): the stores!
oliver: fresh air!
zsa zsa: times sqvare!

sorry, zsa zsa, oliver wins on this one. green acres at suan luang rama IX are awesome! the heavyweight king 'suan luang' measuring in at a whopping 200 acres kicks your garden's ass. this place features:
an homage to his majesty, botanical gardens, rommaniya garden, the reservoir, the sanan rasdara, and a water garden. who knows what half those things mean, but it practically looks like having a ton of things to walk around and look at.
especially this year, since the king is getting up in years, the park has more special displays and flowers. it's easy to spend a whole day here. food vendors and some craft stands are around, too (of course, would it be thai without them?) i wish we weren't blocking the beautiful scenery. poo.
merit tent which patrons can visit and earn some extra-leisurely merit.gourd tunnel. what else can you say about it?
