Last journal I talked about Siam Niramit on Friday night. The show was over at 9.30 pm. arrived home around 11 pm. The next day, Saturday I had to work under strong sunshine... almost die when I got home. However, I made promise with Andy that we will go to see Grand Palace on Sunday. Well, I was tired to death but I keep my words.I checked taxi price at the hotel to Grand Palace (Emerald Buddha, Wat Prakaew) the cost was 500 baht. So crazy.We better take a taxi from Sukhumvit road. I heard the same word again after I told taxi "Pai Wat Prakaew kha" Taxi driver said "Aww, kon thai ror?" and then he turned meter on cuz I keep eyes on him and his license + taxi number (it's important for the passengers), cost us 80 baht.At the entrance of Wat Prakaew, I heard same sentence over and over again "Need tour guide?" "Do you wanna take a tour?" and I had same answer over and over again "No, thanks, I will take him tour by myself" in very clear Thai language. The guide said "Aww Kon Thai Ror??" ok I'm not surprise.Anyway, for foreigners have to buy tickets 250 baht and you can keep the ticket to see Vimanmaek Mansion in 7 days.I think there were a thousand tourists at that time, About 10 Thai people there included me and some tour guides.Photobuckethttp://s8.photobucket.com/albums/a50/ChattyImages/?action=view¤t=DSCF2237.jpg" target="_blank">%3Ca%20href=http://i8.photobucket.com/albums/a50/ChattyImages/DSCF2237.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket">http://s8.photobucket.com/albums/a50/ChattyImages/?action=view¤t=DSCF2243.jpg" target="_blank">%3Ca%20href=http://i8.photobucket.com/albums/a50/ChattyImages/DSCF2243.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket">http://s8.photobucket.com/albums/a50/ChattyImages/?action=view¤t=DSCF2249.jpg" target="_blank">%3Ca%20href=http://i8.photobucket.com/albums/a50/ChattyImages/DSCF2249.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket">http://s8.photobucket.com/albums/a50/ChattyImages/?action=view¤t=DSCF2284.jpg" target="_blank">%3Ca%20href=http://i8.photobucket.com/albums/a50/ChattyImages/DSCF2284.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket">This is The Grand Palace.http://s8.photobucket.com/albums/a50/ChattyImages/?action=view¤t=DSCF2299.jpg" target="_blank">%3Ca%20href=http://i8.photobucket.com/albums/a50/ChattyImages/DSCF2299.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket">Then we took a trail for tour around Ratanakosin Island, 30 baht / person.http://s8.photobucket.com/albums/a50/ChattyImages/?action=view¤t=DSCF2312.jpg" target="_blank">%3Ca%20href=http://i8.photobucket.com/albums/a50/ChattyImages/DSCF2312.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket">http://s8.photobucket.com/albums/a50/ChattyImages/?action=view¤t=DSCF2310.jpg" target="_blank">%3Ca%20href=http://i8.photobucket.com/albums/a50/ChattyImages/DSCF2310.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket">http://s8.photobucket.com/albums/a50/ChattyImages/?action=view¤t=DSCF2313.jpg" target="_blank">%3Ca%20href=http://i8.photobucket.com/albums/a50/ChattyImages/DSCF2313.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket">After the tour, we enjoy the food at some restaurant near Ta Chang (Chang Pier)http://s8.photobucket.com/albums/a50/ChattyImages/?action=view¤t=DSCF2324.jpg" target="_blank">%3Ca%20href=http://i8.photobucket.com/albums/a50/ChattyImages/DSCF2324.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket">Then we took a taxi to Museum of Siam.
