Grand Palace and Asiatique

Finally I made it to the Grand Palace@ Wat Pra Kheaw
A must go place if you come to Bangkok eventually
Took a van from Thammasat University to Thammasat Bangkok 
Costed me 40 baht

And I was dropped at a place quite near to the Grand Palace
Approximately 5 minutes will do

Had Lunch before heading to Grand Palace
Fried Noodle with Squid plus ice lemon juice
100 Baht

 Took a picture outside before entering Grand Palace

 Here you go..
Grand Palace
It is Phra Siratana Chedi on my left and Phra Mondop on my right

 Temple of The Emeralad Buddha at the back
Still managed to smile despite of the hot weather..@@

 The Royal Pantheon

 Here are 5 of us in Grand Palace, Bangkok..!

 Great and High enough...?
haha

 This is in the Temple of the Emerald Buddha
Somekind of blessing water in front using lotus
Got to take off shoes and hats here
and Don't point your feet to the Buddha itself..

 Snamchand Pavilion

 This is a real person that will sweat under hot sun..@@

 Another Jumping post..!

 Leaving Grand Palace

 Got myself Arizona Chicken Wrap with Ice Lemon Tea in Au Bon Pain
165 Baht

 Walking for 10-15 minutes to go to Wat Pho
Paid 100 Baht for the entrance fee

 Inside Wat Pho

 The big and tall and shiny Sleeping Buddha

 I wondered how long is this statue...?

 There is small tradition here in Wat Pho
There are 108 similar containers as shown above
Give some donation in every each of the container
And 
Make a wish and your wish will be granted..!!

 Luckily they do make small changes for us
It is 1 satang each or 0.1 Baht 
We can get one of these by making a 20 Baht donation

 Leaving Wat Pho and heading to Asiatique 
Passed by Wat Arun

 Asiatique, The Riverfront
The brand new shopping mall here in Bangkok

h
 Thanks to an uncle for helping us for this photo
He and his wife are Thai Chinese

 Some performance around there

 Great sky with great people..!

 It is kinda like Premium Outlet in United States..

 Freaking hungry at this moment
Waited for ages to get a seat in one of the restaurant..@@

 Free Shuttle Train in Asiatique

 Leaving Asiatique to catch the Van back to Thammasat University

Night View of Bangkok from the river..

P/S: Scary week ahead
Big people from MTEC coming
Gotta wear proper attire and behave properly
LOL
