the grand palace




Bangkok is strewn with photos of the much revered king. his former residence is spectacular. the Grand Palace is enormous and greatly detailed, and filled with temples comtaining the sacred Buddha, as is the nearby Wat Pho, the largest and oldest temple in Bangkok, dating from the 16th century. there I encountered the grand reclining Buddha, measuring 46m long and 15m high, as he has passed into final nirvana.
