Thai Grand Palace

Another must do is visit the Grand Palace. This is a mind blowing experience just due to the sheer scale of it.

 The entrance to one of the buildings there.

Hand painted tiles. As far as the eye can see.

 Everything is intricately decorated.
 Every inch is covered in decoration. Right to the ceiling. And there were many, many buildings.

A devil. This chap had 20 or so friends all helping him carry the load.

This building has a Buddha inside which one kneels before and prays to. It is about 5 stories high, and every surfance is painted or decorated.

Example of wall painting. Gold leaf of course.

The little wooden sign on the steps says No Entry. When they say No Entry here, they really mean it.
