Bangkok’s Grand Palace & Temple of the Emerald Buddha: Photo Essay

By /

Today we visited the Grand Palace & The Temple of the Emerald Buddha

Which is actually carved out of Jade, but who’s looking that close?

There’s no way to describe it. It’s one of those phenomenal, magical places that is a tourist attraction for very good reasons.

Tony took a jillion pictures, but I’m just sharing the very best of them here.

It was the perfect way to spend our 18th anniversary…

These bells sounded lovely as the rain blew in...

    These photos are AMAZING!!! I have no words, really. Asian architecture is truly fascinating to me. Kudos to Tony for capturing such incredible shots!

    Great photos guys. The Thai temple landscape provides such an amazing subject for photographers. We absolutely loved the Grand Palace and many others in Bangkok. Don’t they say there are over 400 temples in Bangkok area alone?
