You have the Imperial palace.
Around it 17 million people, with their buildings, and temples, and shops, and hotels, and restaurants, and rivers, and smog, and motos, and sex industry, and, don't forget, THE Imperial Palace! However, Bangkok is also the hub to many visits of undeniable interest. The problem is the 16 hours trip, otherwise I would be a regular visitor. |
The Imperial Palace
We feel small! We feel poor! We feel ugly. But we feel blessed by the fortune of seeing such a collection of art masterpieces, in this large complex.
It's impossible to go to Bangkok without this palace in mind. Go with time (there are crowds) and if you're not in an escorted visit read what you can before going, or... in place. It's fantastic! |
Chao Praha
A short and quick trip on a boat along the canal, and we arrived at the market. We left the boat and enjoyed the show. Is it always like that?
Is it revivalism for tourist amusement? No. It looks natural, and locals sell and buy indifferent to the curiosity of western people - but taking advantege of them, of course. |
