This used to be the home of the kings since King Rama I. Personally, the reason why I like this temple so much is because of how intricate the design of the temples is. The walls are carefully carved, the gigantic statues, even the ceiling was very much thought of. And even as a second timer, I am still in awe with every structure I see.

I can now tick off Thailand from my bucket list. But I am looking forward to go back whenever I can as I believe there's still so much to see. I am also very proud to say that this is my first backpacking experience. Uhuh! It was awesome but kinda hard. I was travelling with my father and I am lucky enough because he's quite familiar with the places in Thailand as he used to be a volunteer in Mae Sot. That's the time I was living alone for almost a year. And I'm happy I get to see the place where lived and volunteered. But that's for another post. We're able to go to 4 different places in Thailand: Bangkok, Mae Sot, Chiang Mai, and Ayutthaya. For this blog post, I'll be focusing on Bangkok first.\u0026nbsp;\u003C\/span\u003E\u003C\/div\u003E\n\u003Ca name='more'\u003E\u003C\/a\u003E\u003C\/center\u003E\n\u003Cdiv class=\"separator\" style=\"clear: both; text-align: center;\"\u003E\n\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003C\/div\u003E\n\u003Cdiv class=\"separator\" style=\"clear: both; text-align: center;\"\u003E\n\u003Ca href=\"http:\/\/2.bp.blogspot.com\/-RbT9a25RXKI\/VpkEyAaS59I\/AAAAAAAAC_Q\/SEyUePbePxM\/s1600\/IMG_0542.JPG\" imageanchor=\"1\" style=\"margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;\"\u003E\u003Cimg border=\"0\" height=\"480\" src=\"https:\/\/2.bp.blogspot.com\/-RbT9a25RXKI\/VpkEyAaS59I\/AAAAAAAAC_Q\/SEyUePbePxM\/s640\/IMG_0542.JPG\" width=\"640\" \/\u003E\u003C\/a\u003E\u003C\/div\u003E\n\u003Cbr \/\u003E\n\u003Cdiv class=\"separator\" style=\"clear: both; text-align: center;\"\u003E\n\u003Ca href=\"http:\/\/3.bp.blogspot.com\/-Ih3F9mwwL5U\/VpkFPiXfGwI\/AAAAAAAAC_g\/RvFRfuKNlaU\/s1600\/IMG_0547.JPG\" imageanchor=\"1\" style=\"margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;\"\u003E\u003Cimg border=\"0\" height=\"360\" src=\"https:\/\/3.bp.blogspot.com\/-Ih3F9mwwL5U\/VpkFPiXfGwI\/AAAAAAAAC_g\/RvFRfuKNlaU\/s640\/IMG_0547.JPG\" width=\"640\" \/\u003E\u003C\/a\u003E\u003C\/div\u003E\n\u003Cbr \/\u003E\n\u003Cdiv class=\"separator\" style=\"clear: both; text-align: center;\"\u003E\n\u003Ca href=\"http:\/\/1.bp.blogspot.com\/-_HJ2bsZQ4e4\/VpkFFlHgn2I\/AAAAAAAAC_Y\/WPDmo5kiX3s\/s1600\/IMG_0552.JPG\" imageanchor=\"1\" style=\"margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;\"\u003E\u003Cimg border=\"0\" height=\"480\" src=\"https:\/\/1.bp.blogspot.com\/-_HJ2bsZQ4e4\/VpkFFlHgn2I\/AAAAAAAAC_Y\/WPDmo5kiX3s\/s640\/IMG_0552.JPG\" width=\"640\" \/\u003E\u003C\/a\u003E\u003C\/div\u003E\n\u003Cdiv class=\"separator\" style=\"clear: both; text-align: center;\"\u003E\n\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003C\/div\u003E\n\u003Ccenter\u003E\n\u003C\/center\u003E\n\u003Ccenter\u003E\n\u003C\/center\u003E\n\u003Ccenter\u003E\n\u003C\/center\u003E\n\u003Ccenter style=\"text-align: justify;\"\u003E\nWe're staying for almost a week in Thailand and we're staying in Bangkok for a day.
