The group was joined by a local to offer a simple prayer of thanks in the Wat Phanan Cheong temple, just across the river Chao Phraya.
The shoot surprisingly went ahead of schedule. The set-ups were all smooth-sailing and the group opted to check out the amazing ruins of this ancient kingdom of Ayutthaya. It's a very enriching experience for me. Justine asked me if we have the same buddha and temple ruins back home, for a moment I actually thought about it, forgetting that we were 90% predominantly Christians. I told her that there were temples but Buddhism isn't really the predominant religion of the country. I remember going to two temples back home, the Macho Temple (Am not kidding, there's a temple with this name) in La union and the temple in the Malate area.
I wished Justine goodluck. It was nice seeing her again after 6 years. Time really is so fast, a decade ago, I was preparing my trip to U.K. for my studies, now I'm helping my ex-school mates already with their movies. I couldn't wait to see the final edited movie. She told me that it'll be ready in two months. I brought them to the train station and just like what I've planned, I'll be continuing my journey up north.
More detailed stories of my trip next time. Wish me luck!
