Day 7: The Grand Palace Oct 09

The Grand Palace in Bangkok is a fairly extensive historic, cultural and religious site consisting of multiple structures. It is NOT the current residence of the Royal Family. Note the classical Thai style of architecture and the detailed and ornate embellishments.

I will let you enjoy a few select images from within the compound with a minimum of commentary since I am not a substitute for a knowledgeable local guide who can tell you about each structure in detail. You really need to tour at your leisure and take in the rich aesthetic details for yourself.
