🇹🇭 Exclusive Tour of the Grand Palace Bangkok - Inside Look

[@kamolhengkiatisak1527]

Bangkok's Grand Palace was built in the style of Ayutthaya Grand Palace with a royal temple inside reserved only for the King and relatives to hold Buddhist ceremony. Since the temple is in the Grand Palace there is no monk living in the temple. It is only the functional temple in Thailand that has no monk resides in. Monks from temples nearby are usually invited when the King performs Buddhist ceremony. It is a tradition that any novice who passes the highest Pali Grade 9 language proficiency will be royally patronaged and ordained into monkhood in this Emerald Buddha temple. Pali is the language spoken during the Buddha's era. Buddhist Dharma was originally transmitted by Pali oral tradition (still practiced even today when monks cite Pali sutra every morning and evening) but later transcribed into Pali alphabets, similar to Sanskrit which is the main language of Hinduism. There is a nationwide exam conducted annually to assess Pali proficiency and few novices/monks pass Grade 9 language each year, normally fewer than 10. So you can imagine how hard it is. At the Grand Palace, you can see Garudas (mythical flying deity) grab Nagas (mythical serpent-like deity living underworld). They are sworn mortal enemies in Hindu and Buddhist legends. However, both are God Vishnu's mounts. When travelling, God Vishnu mounts on Garuda. When resting in the sea, God Vishnu lays on bed transformed from Naga's body. Garuda is a sacred deity in Thailand and Indonesia. Thus Indonesia National Airlines is "Garuda" while Thailand's official emblem is Garuda which is affixed in front of official paper and shown on Royal Announcements on Thai TVs. Naga is sacred deity in Thailand and Laos as protector of the Lord Buddha. Temples in the Thailand's North and Laos often feature 2 Nagas at the front leading the steps into the temple. Standalone Naga is featured prominently along Mekong River on both sides of Thailand and Laos as well. Here is the full name of Bangkok. Krungthep Mahanakorn Amorn Rattanakosin Mahintra Yuttaya Mahadilokpop Noparat Burirom Udom Rachnivet Mahasathan Amornpimarn Avartarnsathit Sakkatiya Witsanukamprasit Here is my rough translation. Bangkok Metropolis, the royal capital of Ratanakosin dynasty following Ayutthaya dynasty, a grand palace resided by God King.

ขอบคุณที่มาเที่ยวและถ่ายทำวิดิโอนี้ คุณทำได้อย่างยอดเยี่ยม👍 จริงอยู่ที่การได้ไปเห็นกับตาตัวเองจะเป็นสิ่งที่ดีที่สุด แต่คุณได้ทำให้อีกหลายคน รวมทั้งตัวเราเองได้เห็นมุมที่สวยงามของการท่องเที่ยวนี้ และมันได้สร้างแรงผลักดันให้รู้สึกอยากไปเห็นกับตาอีกครั้งถึงแม้ว่าเราจะเคยไปมาแล้ว แต่ก็มีอะไรหลายอย่างเปลี่ยนแปลงไปมากเลยค่ะ มันน่าตื่นตาตื่นใจจริงๆ ❤️☺️

ขอบคุณที่เยี่ยมชมช่องของฉัน! และใช่ ฉันเคยไปพระบรมมหาราชวังมาสองสามครั้งแล้ว และฉันรู้ว่าฉันจะไปเยี่ยมชมอีกครั้งแล้วครั้งเล่าในอนาคต โดยเฉพาะอย่างยิ่งเมื่อสถานที่บางแห่งปิดปรับปรุง เมื่อคุณกลับมาอีกสักระยะ สถานที่เหล่านั้นก็จะเปิด และเป็นไปได้อีกครั้งที่จะได้เห็นอะไรใหม่ๆ

Great video, beautiful monument. Just one question, when you say "exclusive tour", what do you mean by exclusive?

[@travelwithgeorgijus]

Thank you! By word "Exclusive" I mean that I haven't seen on youtube such extended videos with captured as many details as it was possible at that time. At some places you can't use cameras and some places was under renovation.
