We loved seeing the Grand Royal Palace of Thailand in Bangkok. On our way, we wandered through a Thai street market and had fun seeing all of their shops, food, produce, and more. We took the train, which was an adventure in itself. Coming out of the subway was a great surprise as the station was decorated beautifully to match the grand palace. We then took a long walk along the wall with glimpses of the royal palace, the Thai temples, and other historical buildings.
As we arrived at the royal grand palace it was neat to see a change of the guard and lots of guards marching through the courtyard. After purchasing tickets and masks (surprised to still have this in force) we entered the beautiful palace grounds. We were amazed by all of the paintings, statues, and buildings. There were so many emasculate decorations on everything: tiny mirrors, mosaics of beautiful ceramics, gems, and much more. It was stunning and beautiful. There was gold everywhere making things glimmer in the sunshine. The statues in the green gardens were inviting and intriguing. We loved the lily pads, large pots, and bonsai trees. The historical paintings that tell the story of Thailand were amazing to see as they went on and on and contained so much detail. The variety of buildings was stunning. They ranged from pure gold buildings to an ornate central temple, to complete stone buildings and more.
We took some time to enter the Wat Arun temple. After removing our shoes, we entered the temple and knelt down on the carpet. We were instructed to have the bottom of our feet facing away from the buddha to show respect. The gold and decorations were amazing in the temple, along with more of the traditional Thai paintings.
We really were amazed by how beautifully preserved and kept everything is. It was well worth the price and we spent hours there entertained and still felt like we didn't see everything. It was a hot and humid day, but it was still worth every bit of it.
Because we were so hot, we stopped by the cafe to order fruit smoothies. They were like slushies that cooled us all down along with the air conditioning. It was a great experience for our family. This is just part one of our day. Please stay tuned for our video tomorrow that will show our fun lunch and visit to another Thai temple to see a giant, gold, sleeping statue!
