12/15/2002 Entry: "Grand Palace - Wat Phra Kaew"

Hi all,

We are still in Bangkok and loving it. We went yesterday to Wat Phra Kaew and the grand palace. They are part of the same complex. It was beautiful. When we arrived Bob and I were not dressed appropriately so we had to borrow pants. We then entered the complex and looked arround the temple grounds. It is amazing how intricate all of the walls are with glass mosaics and murals, simply breath taking. It was great to see all of the amazing temple buildings, carvings, etc. We also got to see the emerald budha. He is about 2 feet tall and made of Jade. We spent a couple of hours checking the place out. After the temple we were hungry and had a great meal of noodle soup, rice and cokes. All 3 of us ate for less than 3 dollars you got to love Thailand. We are going to go to the river kwai tomorrow and then head off towards Chang Mai on Friday.

I'll attach some photos but because they show up on the main page and that could get unruly if I put them all on the main page I will start adding them to a seperate page. So to see the photos click on more and they will be there.
