Gumbo has left the world of model trains and is on the move again, this time to a lovely exotic land. He came across these three young men, handsomely robed, and knew he was some where special!

So, exactly where is Gumbo today?
Thailand, Cambodia?????
Huuummm… I think I recognise those roofs… Could it be close by a river?
Well, I don’t recognize the roofs, but I do recognize the security cameras bolted to them…would that indicate city, rather than an isolated area?
Mac — there are S-o-o-o-ooo many military coups around the world on a nearly everyday basis….
But indeed, the military took control of this place recently
Same city as a recent military coup?
It’s near one river which name starts with C?
To answer some of the questions raised and hopefully move this along, here’s some new info:
1) Jonathan L, of these two countries is correct. But we need something more specific than that.
2) Mac, you are one of the most traveled people I know so I believe you’d recognize any roof you’d seen before. And it is close to a major river
3) PHeymont, it’s in a large city
So where exactly is Gumbo?
Ah but then it would have to be in one of the 2 countries mentioned by Jonathan L – n’est pas, mon ami? (sorry, my Hercule Poirot mode…. 🙂 ). Looks a bit like this roof in my pic attached – might I be close?
Might Wat Pho describe it adequately?
Hhhmmmm…. Andre are you thinking of the Chao Praya? I would agree with you.
Hehe yes Mac! Thanks Fumble, this puzzle was fun !
Mac and Andre Pur, you guys are just too smart. Puzzle solved!
This is indeed Wat Pho, the temple of the giant reclining Buddha in Bangkok.
We’ll have a full discussion of this along with a new puzzle posted Saturday morning.
A lovely little trail of clues and misinformation Karl! Excellent stuff and great fun, thanks. Keep ’em coming.
