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.

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.

Temples of Thailand

The Buddhist temples in Thailand are actually called “Wat,” which stems from a Hindu word for enclosure. They are like sacral fortifications with monks living and praying in them. Many of them can be visited when showing respect and covering shoulders and legs. Sometimes you even get to know some monks and can have a talk with them, they are friendly and actually have a good sense of humour.

A Tale of two Cathedrals

The cathedrals of Salisbury and Winchester are masterpieces of Gothic architecture in England. Usually, I don’t mix styles within one series of photographs, though for this one, I decided otherwise because some of these shots need the contrast and clarity of black and white while others demand color and light. As these buildings themselves offer stark contrasts to the modern world they are situated in today, so do these pictures with one another, highlighting different perspectives of this beautiful architecture.
