The Golden Palace

The Golden Palace is actually the Grand Palace in Bangkok, the former seat of the Thai kings, and it is situated in the center of the city. Today, the king resides in another palace in Bangkok, and the Grand Palace is open to visitors. If you happen to visit Bangkok, it is definitely worth seeing; the buildings are rich in art and covered in gold. There are a lot of people, and you don’t have it for yourself. Also, the entrance fee is relatively high, but nonetheless, a must-see.

Streets of Bangkok

The streets of Bangkok are busy. The law of the strongest applies here, and it does not favor pedestrians. Basically, you just have to cross the street and hope for the best. The same applies to Tuk Tuks, small, basically self-made Taxis. There is a saying in Bangkok: “If you aren’t able to pass your driving exam, you drive Tuk Tuk!”. Still, it’s part of the experience and definitely an excellent way to get to know the city. Usually, you have a Tuk Tuk for a whole day, and it brings you to the major sights, just be careful if it seems too cheap (20 Bat), because then some drivers like to bring you to suit shops first to cash in some commission.

Spiritual Thailand

Thailand is a deeply spiritual country. Most of the inhabitants are Buddhists, though there is a significant Muslim population in the south of the country close to the border with Malaysia. Bangkok in particular is a fascinating place to discover Thai Buddhist temples, also called Wat. There are many forms of Buddha statues, as well as depictions of demons and a lot of gold and color in general.

Discovering Bangkok

Bangkok, with its eight million inhabitants, is the sprawling capital of Thailand. A multifaceted metropole with modern districts and high-rise buildings, but also traditional Asian houses with twisted streets and channels. There are many Buddhist temples to discover and fantastic street food around every second corner. Bangkok is a loud and noisy city for sure, but inhabitants and visitors alike can rest in the city parks and enjoy giant lizards casually crossing the walkways. A city of many wonders for sure.
