Grand Palace – Art and Architecture Collection Part II | Bangkok | Thailand

Blog / Thailand / Travel  Posted by / 0 comments

This is part 2 of the art and architecture collection of the Grand Palace. Like I said, I have so many. The Grand Palace is so magnificent that I took so many photos, I have so many that there’s no way I can finish processing them. It’s too bad that we are not allowed to take photos of the interior, I would have even more if that was allowed. Hope you enjoy these photos~

I have got so many photos of the Grand Palace to the point that it’s no feasible to share them all as part of the storyline, it would be too freaking long. So I will do a collection post of these photos for people who are interested in seeing more photos of the Grand Palace.

Finally, we are going to the Grand Palace, after killing off some times at the flower market, which turn out to be quite an interesting place to visit, it was worth a trip.

The Grand Palace, in the heart of Bangkok, a historical temple, a landmark, also a checkpoint type of a place that’s been visited to dire by tourist from all over the world.

From what I have read, the place is going to be busy, crowded, hot, humid and chaotic. Some writers actually suggested that it is not worth a trip. But hey, you know what? I haven’t been there, and you can’t judge a place before you actually visit it and see it for your self. Crowded and busy it may be, it is still one of the most historical and significant architectural locations in Thailand, I have to see it for my self.

The Snow Delayed Chinese New Year Eve Meal | Washington

Chinese New Year eve we got stuck with snow, not just any snow, but the snow of a century kind of a snow. It’s the most snow in February since 1923 kind of a snow. So everything is close and we are stuck at home, not able to go out to buy grocery for cooking the new year eve meal. And since we just came back from a road trip to Richmond, Canada, we do not have much at home food-wise, the fridge is almost empty, lol~ So we find whatever we can and still manage to cook a very simple meal and call that the Chinese New Year Eve meal. It was probably the simplest and most basic Chinese New Year Eve meal I have ever recall in reason memory. Well, unless you count my years in college. Even then, I think I still cook a more complete meal than what we have this time.
