Visit to the Royal Palace

Was a tourist today, taking a boat bus to the Royal Palace In Bangkok
First, a walk through the market


                                Beautiful chilies

         
                                   The boat bus stop

                                The boat bus terminal

One of the giants who guard the palace


                                  Beautiful gardens, with gnomes, monkeys, etc.


close up of the columns, tiles 
                                   marble steps, guards, color, glitter



                               The more modern royal palace, although the Royal family
                               does not live here




Lots of stimulation for the eyes!  Needles to say the surrounding neighborhood is full of places to eat and things to buy.
We rode the boat bus back home.  It was delightful, way better than being in traffic!
