BANGKOK

The Grand Palace was the seat not only of the king and his court, but contained within its crenellated walls the entire government administration. The palace served as the official residence of the kings of Thailand from the 18th to the mid-20th century.

.

Wat Pho, the official name being Wat Phra Chetuphon Vimolmangklararm Rajwaramahaviharn , is a first grade

royal monastery, regarded as the most important one during the reign of King Rama I of the Chakri Dynasty. The importance of this is due to the King having managed the restoration of Wat Phodharam, an old monastery from the

Ayudhya period, and had it re-established as a royal monastery located near the Grand Palace.

Packed with market stalls, street-side restaurants, Chinese medicine stores and

probably the greatest concentration of gold shops in the city, Chinatown is an experience

not to miss. This historic area is as old as Bangkok itself, its growth spawned by waves

of Chinese immigrants who left communist China, settled down here and continued what

they did best: trade.
