150 concubines & a Golden Library: Part 1 of Bangkok’s most iconic temples! We kicked off our tour at the Grand Palace, and it’s even more breathtaking than the photos. Here is what you need to know: 🏰 The "Hybrid" Palace: See that building? It’s Chakri Maha Prasat. The King wanted a European palace (like Buckingham Palace), but his court insisted on traditional Thai roofs. The result? A stunning East-meets-West masterpiece! 🤫 The Inner City Secrets: Did you know that a "forbidden city" existed within these walls? At one point, over 150 concubines and wives of the King lived here in a private female-only society. No other men except the King were allowed to enter! 🙏 The Emerald Buddha: Thailand’s holiest treasure. It’s carved from a single piece of jade and is so sacred that only the King can touch it to change its seasonal clothes. 👹 Demons turned Guardians: Those giant, colorful statues were once powerful demons. After being defeated in the ancient legends, they were "hired" to serve as eternal protectors of the temple. 🌸 A Ritual for Luck: We were sprinkled with holy water using a lotus bud for good fortune and happiness. 📚 The King’s Library: That massive golden building (Phra Mondop) houses ancient scriptures on silver floors. It's so exclusive that only the King has access. Save this for your Bangkok bucket list! 📌 Which of these facts surprised you the most? The 150 concubines or the golden library? Let me know below! 👇 #Bangkok #ThailandTravel #GrandPalace #EmeraldBuddha #TravelBkk #AmazingThailand #HistoryTravel #BangkokGuide
