Today, Grand Palace is no longer the residence of the royal family of Thailand. It has become a major tourist attraction and a venue for royal funerals.

Holding the admission ticket.

I want to present lotus flower to Buddha.

With cadets from a military academy. These cadets look so smart!

There're many half-human half-animal statues in Grand Palace.

I was surprised to see a model of Angkor Wat in the Grand Palace of Thailand. I've been to the real Angkor Wat in Cambodia.

A beautiful door.

Goofy tourists such as myself line up to take photos with the guards, who must always keep a straight face.

The statue looks Chinese!

Happy bees.

For Buddha.

Imposing!
