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.
