Bangkok Pictures

Bangkok Grand Palace, with Gary and his Mum and Dad. Lots of gold paint on the buildings you might notice. I liked the trees too - they were cut like the lolly-pop trees kids draw! If you look below there are a few more pictures of the Palace, with yet more gold paint. Lots of gold. And lots of pointy spikes everywhere too!




As well as the gold paint and mirrors, the palace was lavishly painted. We were particularly intrigued by this detailed mural of the Ramayana - it seemed to be more of an extract from the Karma Sutra!
