Our first morning, we taxied off from our hotel to see
the Grand Palace, built for the current dynasty of Thai
kings near the end of the 18th century, after the old
capital at Ayutthaya was destroyed. It's a wonderful
place to stroll around, with its temple guardians, stupa
steeples, and the emerald buddha ("No photos, please.").
