Grand Palace

 

The Grand Palace is attached in a way to Wat Phra Kaew and the 500 baht entrance fee covers both. There is a little less to see at the Grand Palace compared to Wat Phra Kaew but just as spectacular. The ground are beautifully manicured and the military guard are in dress whites. Very impressive. There is a significant temple just past the palace called Phra Thinang Dusit Maha Prasat. No photos are permitted inside. There is also a weapons museum, but again no photos are permitted inside. I walked through and it was small but interesting.

 

If you are fortune enough to catch the changing of the guard you are lucking. It is short but impressive. It is funny watching all the visitors jump in front of the guards as they are marching. Some not moving until the guards are right on top of them. Have to get that perfect shot I guess. But it seemed a little disrespectful. It is one thing to snap a quick picture but to block the way of the march is too far.
