The Royal Palace

Later in the day I went to some of the more uplifting sites. A shrine where an eyebrow of the Buddha is kept, the Royal Palace and the Silver Pagoda.

No pictures inside but this is the Palace...



The Silver Pagoda has a floor laid with 5,000 silver tiles weighing 1kg each.



And this is me in the grounds but I apologise, the American guy who took this said he had cut off my knees...it was a disappointment to me as well.



While I was having lunch an example of the local fauna just walked past, it is a bit different here!



35 deg C here at the moment so I have retired to aircon until the evening. By the way, thanks for the comments I have received, it is nice to know people are finding this interesting.
