Following on from my last post, a few more shots from The Grand Palace and The Temple of the Emerald Buddha (Wat Phra Kaew). Above is a photo of the Grand Palace Halls (Chakri Maha Prasat), where the Kings of Thailand resided.

Photo of Two Yaksha's (a mythological giant demon) guarding one of the entrances to the Grand Palace complex.

The Royal Pantheon Building aka "Prasat Phra Thep Bidon" which means "The Shrine of the Celestial Ancestors". This is one of the buildings within the compounds of Wat Phra Kaew (The Temple of the Emerald Buddha) and The Grand Palace in Bangkok. Originally, this was built to house the Emerald Buddha, but was instead used to install life size statues of the Kings from the Chakri Dynasty.
