Bkk may fast becoming a modern city but it doesn't mean you won't find traditional architectures around. One can still see the multi-tiered rooflines, the ornate decorations, the elegant murals, and the different buddha images.

The following photos are from the Grand Palace, which used to be not only the king's residence but also housed government offices. The Temple of the Emerald Buddha is also found here.
