The land of smiles, Thailand, is a traditional Buddhist country, so it is easy to find and visit lots of temples everywhere in Bangkok, the capital of Thailand. I realized architecture style of Thai Buddhist temple is really different from that of Korea. Thai temples look so high and big, but simple, and are not much decorated and the outside is painted white. Sometimes colorful glass pieces are partly used to decorate the temples. Nice gardens are usually seen around the main buildings.
No direct flights from Korea to Nepal often made a tourist spend one or two weeks in Thailand, the land of smiles. Thai people have really the warm smiles, take things easy and are kind to strangers.
Khaosan in downtown Bangkok is a very famous area for travelers and backpackers from around the world. Tourists also enjoy the nearby Chao Phraya river flowing through the heart of Bangkok and it is a great pleasure to walk along the river. Grand Palace is close to Khaosan, which is one of the most famous attractions in all of Thailand. The picture above depicts one of the old buildings around Grand Place.
