Grand Palace (1/28/09)
After we displayed our good ol' fashion American prowess (read: gluttony) at the impressively massive Plaza Athenee buffet, we made our way to perhaps the most impressive site in Bangkok - the Grand Palace. This is a collection of dozens of buildings that make up the grounds of the former residence of the Royal Family. It is a mix of temples and official state buildings that are widely influenced by cultures from around the region. It took us a couple hours and 250 photos to get through. For more info, see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Grand_Palace . Here are some of our favorite pics:

ReplyDeleteI agree with Sizzle. Although, looks like you could very easily substitue Parke pants as thier uniforms...
And, speaking of uniforms... the pic of the children in their school uniforms looks like a scene straight outta CJ7. Maybe that will entice you two to watch it!?!?!?!?
