Finally! Months after our arrival in Thailand, we have managed to visit the Grand Palace in Bangkok on a sunny weekend afternoon. The Grand Palace and the Temple of the Emerald Buddha (which is in fact in jade) inside the palace complex is one of the touristic highlights in Bangkok and even Thailand as a whole. The palace and temple, dating back to the 18th century, is a feast of decoration. All buildings are decorated with lots of gold, small mirrors in different colours and a range of fine sculptures. The best way to get there is by boat from one of the river stops (there is a connection with the BTS (Skytrain). Attached some pictures to give an idea of what the complex looks like.
