BANGKOK, 9/08..THE GRAND PALACE AND EMERALD BUDDHA
We hired a private guide from Tours by Tong whose name was Jerry and had a VERY full and glorious day of touring Bangkok and learning about the architecture and Buddhism as well. Jerry was AWESOME and the day was so perfect with stunning lighting for photography
HISTORY OF THE GRAND PALACE
"For just about 150 years, Bangkok’s Grand Palace was not only the home of the King and his court, but also the entire administrative seat of government. Within the crenelated walls were the country’s war ministry, state departments, and even the mint. Thai Kings stopped living in the palace full time around the turn of the twentieth century, but the complex remains the seat of power and spiritual heart of the Thai kingdom."
