23 seconds of bored tourists

Quick little video I shot at the EXIT to the Golden Temple in Bangkok. Honestly the temple is so big and so “the same” everywhere that although amazing its also taxing. You can tell these folks didn’t just get off of Batman the Rollercoaster.

Thailand Photos - Golden Temple & Grand Palace

Just uploaded a gallery full of pics from Bangkok’s Golden Temple and Grand Palace. Tweaked the files for color as little as I could to preserve the hazy light of morning. Here’s a link.

My Camera is “TOO BOOKOO” for the temple

J: What a drag. Two video cameras are BANNED from the Grand Palace Golden Temple. Sony FX-7 and Cannon XL-1. I was escorted to a security station by a Thai army officer. What the frack? Tons of smaller HD cameras in there. Plus dudes shooting HD footage on their still cameras. So after we left we walked the wrong way around the GIANT block that the temple is in. I love my wife. She stuck with it like a trooper. Then when we were about to give up and “cry” a little - a Thai man saw the Obama action figure sticking out of her purse. He was yelling and laughing and so were we. Thank you random Thai dude for pulling us out of the muck.
