Thailand in December

by shrimp56 - last update: Aug 16, 2005

Bangkok is a large sprawling metropolis -- noisy, crowded and dirty -- but there are oases of beauty and calm that make the rest worth it. Among those is the Grand Palace complex. It includes the famed "emerald buddha" -- the picture above is just as we entered the grounds. What it doesn't show are the wall-to-wall crowds!

Pros:"Full of energy, sites and shopping"
Cons:"Dirty, crowded, polluted, noisy"
In A Nutshell:"Not my fave -- but a "must see" at least once!"

 Absolute nonsense! The tap water is safe to drink and has been since 2002

 Great page about this wonderful and busy city! I specially love the Lotos-Pic in your "Local Customs" section.

 Enjoyed your BKK tips, especially the Golden Temple. It is a magnificent compound - ain't it?
