The ruins of an old temple in Ayutthaya. A large central building stands in the middle with dark and red bricks, its shape tapering upwards towards what was likely a prang, but there is nothing left after the second staircase. Around the central building are other remnants, partial pillars, some smaller prangs that are largely intact.

A small courtyard in Ayutthaya. The courtyard, likely a former building, is surrounded by a small brick wall with large bases in certain points, likely former supports that are now flat. The center contains some small pillars no more than a meter all, in regular rows. Large trees surround the courtyard on either side. Towards the back a large tower can be seen, still mostly intact with its mostly-red-brick structure. Though the top stops abruptly.

The temple ruins around Ayutthaya. My gosh this city must have been a sight to behold before it was destroyed...

A narrow alley street in Bangkok. The street is wide enough for a single small car, if even that. Several scooters and bikes are parked along either side of the street. The street itself meanders from right to left to make room for storefronts that jut out of their buildings. The buildings themselves rise up a few stories on either side, in various muted colors, with many satellite dishes attached to the walls.

The back alley streets of Bangkok have a totally different vibe than the main areas, and I kinda dig it

The golden spire on the top of Wat Saket. A large, wide golden spire reaches up to the partly-cloudy sky, tapering to a sharp point, in varying degrees at various points. The spire is sitting on a small raised platform, with tables on all sides with golden tablecloth. Additional relics and floral arrangements also surround end spire on the platform.

One of the many gardens surrounding Wat Saket. The garden consists of many different green bushes and trees of many different sizes that rise up the side of the hill. Throughout the garden are many white stones, some of which form the boundary of small ponds or shrines throughout the garden. A large golden pole with a bulb on the top, outlined with an aura, stands in front of the garden.

Wat Saket, and it's very pretty surrounding gardens 💚

The Wat Arun temple, as seen from the very bottom of the main Prang, looking straight up along the wall. Its largely grey uniform color at a glance is betrayed by its many many intricate & colorful carvings and flourishes and sculptures that adorn every single surface of the large tower, as it reaches up to the clear blue sky.

The Wat Arun temple, as seen from the bottom of its central prang, looking up at it from a slight distance. Its largely grey uniform color at a glance is betrayed by its many many intricate & colorful carvings and flourishes and sculptures that adorn every single surface of the large tower. The bright glow of the slightly setting sun can be seen behind the tower itself.

Wat Arun is one of the rare famous monuments that's actually even more incredible in person.

Pictures have a hard time capturing its intricate details and scale 💚💚💚

The food court of ICONSIAM mall. A small replica of the Chao Phraya river runs down the middle, while many many food stalls and restaurants adorn both sides of the "river". All the shops are decorated to look like old-fashioned wooden street vendor stalls, with many glowing lanterns and signs. A small upper walkway runs along the stores on sides, with additional shops.

The food court of the ICONSIAM mall. We are looking down the middle of a walkway. To left are many food stalls and shops. The right side is completely full of chairs and tables for dining, occasionally broken up by additional food stalls. The high ceiling above the tables is filled with traditional lanterns of many different colors, with warm colors being the majority.

SE Asia really goes all out on their malls don't they

This is just like a fraction of the food court, which is just one of like 7 levels xD

The Temple of the Emerald Buddha in Bangkok from the outside looking up at the magnificent structure. The temple's four wings radiate out from the center, each wing shrinking slightly in size as it tapers down to the entrance, with each wing's many roofs lower than the last in response. The roofs are all held up by many pillars on either side, while the roofs themselves are adorned with many flourished at their various points. Every aspect of the building is incredibly intricate and colorful.

The Grand Palace in Bangkok. A wide, almost colonial-looking building is seen from below, with fairly traditional windows and stairs along the front. The center of the building however, as well as the two ends, sport traditional Thai roofs with bright gold accents, and intricate towers on each that reach up to the sky, ending in a point.

Traditional Thai architecture is something else entirely 💚💚💚

One of the many covered alleyways of the Chatuchak market. Many many shops run the length of the alleyway into the distance, with the alley itself being only wife enough for three people at most. All the shops' inventory spill out slightly into the alley, consisting of all manner of merchandise.

Tomorrow the long journey home begins.

A panoramic view of the Chao Phraya river in Bangkok from up above. Bangkok's extensive skyline dominates the far riverbank against a blue but cloudy sky, while the river itself is full of various boats of various sizes.

Woah hey would you look at that, it's a Bangkok

#PandaCatOnTour #Travel #Bangkok #Thailand

Busy day today with @gaokemo.bsky.social taking us to Ayutthaya to see some old and some new grand things. #PandaCatOnTour

German beer in Thailand? Never heard of that brand... #PandaCatOnTour

A view of the large twin Petronas Towers from the bottom, perfectly centered between them. They are brilliantly lit for nighttime in a monochrome light, the tops of each tower practically glowing. Bustling tourists and traffic can be seen on the streets below.

Obligatory Petronas Towers picture

It's obligatory because it's so cool x3

The Putra Mosque in Putrajaya. The muted-rose-colored mosque sits against a brilliant cloudy sky with patches of blue. The mosque's large tower rises up to its left, while the mosque itself rises up to the right, with its various domes surrounding the large primary dome in the middle.

The interior of the Putra Mosque. The inner dome's interior towers over the large, mostly empty prayer area, with various stained glass windows around its edges of its muted-rosey walls. The upper floors/balconies are supported with rows of columns. Tourists are all gathered at the edge of the roped-off area, many wearing red visitor robes to remain appropriately covered.

Putra Mosque
Heckin cool building~

#PandaCatOnTour #Travel #KualaLumpur #Malaysia

A large shopping mall, shot over the walkway one floor above the ground level. Half a dozen additional floors tower above, with arbitrary walkways connecting them across the atrium at different points on each floor. Many shops and restaurants can be seen on each floor.

I swear half this city is just malls, and they're all so big xD

#PandaCatOnTour #Travel #KualaLumpur #Malaysia

The Taman Connaught Night Market, as seen slightly above the heads of the marketgoers, straight down the middle. The yellow cloth roofs of the various spots are on both sides, while the fully crowded space in the middle disappears into the horizon. A bright yellow sun sets in the far background.

Taman Connaught Night Market~

It's really cool, but it maybe could have benefitted from not being next to like 10 lanes of car traffic xD

Dogs must wear leashes and diapers.
Sign at the entrance of a shopping mall in Bangkok.

Since we didn't have leashes we just went to "Daddy Don’t Know Gelato House" (actual place name) and had a Lemon Creampie since they were all out of Finger Me Gently.

Like I said.... #PandaCatOnTour

The Thean Hou Temple seen from below on its hill. Various lanterns are strewn in front of the temple. It's clean white walls are a stark contrast to its ruby red roof and lanterns hanging along every roof edge.

Inside the Thean Hou Temple, looking up at the many many red lanterns hung over the inner courtyard. The temple's brilliant white inner walls can be seen above, with a two-level pagoda looming over the courtyard itself, red lanterns hung from every roof edge.

Thean Hou Temple 💚

A panoramic view of the Chin Swee Caves Temple, slightly fish-eyed because of the panorama. A large temple courtyard sprawls out underneath with its orange & white stones, white stones bricks, with various old temple buildings positioned around the perimeter. On the right is a tall pagoda. In the background, an expansive mountain range can be seen.

The Chin Swee Caves Temple is really pretty

Despite the lack of caves xD

#PandaCatOnTour #Travel #KualaLumpur #Malaysia

What's up, doc? #JareeCafe #PandaCatOnTour

A view from the top of the Chin Swee Caves Temple down the valleys of the Genting Highlands. The various temple buildings can be seen before in the foreground with their red roofs, while a long, winding river valley can be seen in the distance, weaving its way through an expanse of green mountains.

The Genting Highlands are heckin prettyyy

And the first naturally cool air I've felt in weeks xD

#PandaCatOnTour #Travel #KualaLumpur #Malaysia

We've made it to the local furry cafe, Jaree.
I love how Singapore and Bangkok have venues for furries. Makes me wonder if something like that would fly in the bay area or the Ruhrgebiet... #PandaCatOnTour

Also giant inflatables, fashionista bears and food courts you need maps for. #PandaCatOnTour

When I said malls here hit different... Giant dog. #PandaCatOnTour

The Batu Caves, as seen from the very bottom, looking up the multi-colored stairway leading directly up and into the darkness of the caves in the hills above. To the right of the stairs stands the towering, golden Murugan Statue.

A small temple inside the Batu Caves. The small temple itself is a simple structure with green support columns, with statues of deities in the back. All around the small temple, the cave walls tower above, with various spots of moss and bushes. Sunlight pours in from the large opening at the very top, where various trees can be seen.

Whoever was crazy enough to build this temple into this cave made the right call 💚

I think Southeast Asia has more malls than people.
They lure you in with the promise of air conditioning and woo you with their pretty things!

The inner courtyard of the Suria KLCC mall in Kuala Lumpur. The large shopping center wraps around the courtyard, with large crowds all gathered in various places. Many large high-rises tower above in the background, with the two Petronas Towers dominating the view.

Kuala Lumpur is another city that's super cool at night x3

#PandaCatOnTour #Travel #KualaLumpur #Malaysia

A rooftop shot of a suburb of Kuala Lumpur in Malaysia. Several large bushes with long green leaves are lined along the inner wall of the building. The cityscape itself is made up mostly of low-rises, with some high-rise apartments scattered throughout the view. In the far background, additional high-rises can be seen among the hills.

Oh hey look, it's a Malaysia.
