I had the day of from work and wanted to go explore a bit. I decided to go see Vimanmek, the 'teak palace,' a palace built by King Rama V in 1901 entirely of golden teak wood. It is supposed to be amazing. Sadly, after a loooong walk, the grounds were closed, I suppose because of the state of emergency we are under. The palace is next to Dusit Park, very near the Government House where the protests are going on.
But I did still get some good photos.
Victory Monument is a major Bangkok landmark and Thais are quite proud of it.

The Royal residence. Not as gaudy as the Grand Palace, but a more practical place for the royal fmaily to actually live.
