Thailand definitely has a rich cultural history. They especially like their monarchy. We went to see a movie and before the showing in the cinema, we had to stand up during a 5 min clip of the King's life and his achievements.

Bangkok Part I
This post is dedicated to the gorgeous temples. They were truly awe inspiring, over the top grandeur, and I just had to share these shiny (gold) pictures!
Grande Palace. Murals.
One of the temples. In Thailand, 60% of the population is Buddhist.
Gold.
Shockingly; more gold.
There were many different buildings in the Grande Palace; each one built during a different era meant to represent the grandeur of the time.
Part of the temple.
19th century (Western inspired?) palace residence.
Sofie and myself .
The gates to the monastery next to the Wat Arun temple.

Het was in Tokyo ook herfst; op zich wel fijn om weer even in 15-20 graden te lopen. Het is dan toch een stuk prettiger als de 30 graden hier met super veel luchtvochtigheid. Nu weer hard aan de bak op school deze komende paar weken.
