The Royal Palace in Bangkok

Sight, who consider it their duty to visit every self-respecting Thai tourist. Therefore, there are many people around and countless multitudes of local residents who are trying to make a profit. But the place is stunningly beautiful and worth to wade through the crowd and sellers shill.

I must say that while we leisurely and staring at the sides walked to the palace to us at the 5 people and everyone said that the palace is closed today / output / cleaning day / king resting, etc., that they were going to offer us instead of visiting the palace, we decided not to find out (in principle, it was clear that this would be a shop / bar / restaurant / market / taxi) and firmly and purposefully stomped to the main entrance. Naturally Palace was opened (for tourists works weekends and holidays until 15:00). On the territory can not be in shorts, bare shoulders and back, in shoes with open heel. These problems are solved immediately at nearby rynochke where one can easily get the right clothes for hire.

In Buddhist beliefs Garuda - this is not one creature, but a special kind of intelligent birds of prey, which are so great that people can hide among their feathers and go unnoticed. Garuda live in their own cities under the control of the kings, fighting with snakes and Nagas have some magical powers. Some of them are able to turn into men and willingly tied close relationships with mortal women.
