I finally got around to checking out the famous temples and palaces in Bangkok. Previously, I associated Bangkok with doing errands, making travel arrangements and shopping so that visiting tourist attractions was never a priority.

I'm really glad I went. The temples and palaces are so beautiful! First I visited Wat Pho, home of the giant reclining buddha. It's so huge I couldn't get all of it on one photograph.

Next to Wat Pho is the huge complex of the Grand Palace along with Wat Phra Kaew, home of the famous Emerald Buddha. The buildings are beautifully decorated and there are so many of them, it's breathtaking.

No photography was allowed inside so I couldn't get a photo of the Emerald Buddha. Actually, it's very small and not very impressive compared to all the other statues and adornments all over the palace complex.
