Royal Palace began in 1782 and was completed in time for the coronation of Rama I, the first king of the current dynasty (the current king, Bhumipol, is Rama IX and celebrates his 60th jubilee in 2006). The palace sits on about 60 acres and holds the bulk of Thailand's greatest treasures, including the Emerald Buddha in Thailand's most scared temple, Wat Phra Kaew.

We saw more tourist here then vendors on boats. Hahaha .. yes this is where the tourist comes to buy and experience sitting on boats and going around in the market area. There are many things on sales like food, fruits, vegetables, souvenir, bags, and handcrafts. I doubt they are made here but you have to bargain hard! You might have a better deal after all.

Everything and anything is sold here from food, fruits, souvenirs, bags, imitations Gucci bags, t-shirt, livestock, books, jewellery, accessories. Just be extra careful with your bags and watch out for pickpockets. The tip is bargain as hard as you can to get the best price. The market is open around 9.00am and closed at 6:00pm. Come here early shop till you drop and go back and rest at the pool in your hotel.

Very impressive pages, Mary. I learned a new term [Tuk tuk]. Excellent warnings tips. I was fascinated with the Tiger Temple...seems dangerous. Liked the floating market. Great photos. |
