Pictures from Bangkok 24 August
We spent yesterday touring the Grand Palace and some of the wats (Buddhist Temples) around town. The first picture shows three stupas (like a Buddhist steeple) -- the front in Sri Lankan style (all gold), the middle in Cambodian style (like Angor Wat), and behind in Thai style. Detail photos follow -- human and monkey soldier feet holding up one of the stupas ; bird/man creatures lining the temple of the Emerald Buddha ; pairs of Buddhist protector gods guarding entrances to sections of the palace ground; me by the reclining Buddha at Wat Pho -- 46 meters long and 15 meters high.
