Golden City in details part 1

The Golden City

Appreciating the city's historical landmarks are the highlights of our visit in Bangkok. In here we visited the Wat Phra Kaeo & Grand Palace which was built in 1782 & 1784, where Rama I (r.1782-1809) house the country's most precious Buddha image at Wat Phra Kaeo & the Grand Palace became the home of the Royal Family. But no king has resided here since the early 20th century.

When we were there, I thought it was a bit too much. The ray of the sun makes the temple even more brighter, more intensely to the eyes. But I guess that was the main purpose of Rama I to make it really stand out to the crowd, to be admired. And yes, after looking all the photos, I simply grasp the quality of workmanship of his team to make this buildings truly worth admiring.
