Demon Things at the Imperial Palace

I loved these demon guys. There were two stupa-type structures behind the Temple to the Emerald Buddha with these demons dancing around and looking scary. Beware! We are sparkly!

More Imperial Palace

It's gonna take a few days to get through all the pics I took at the Imperial Palace. Here are some of my favorite sparkly things.

Chinese Buddhist Temple

This is a Chinese temple we found in Bangkok on our way to Wat Traimit. There was a very friendly guy on the lookout (I would say 'security guard' but he wasn't nearly scary enough) and he gave us a very warm welcome and told us a bit about the history of the temple. Next door, there was an interesting-looking Chinese medicine hospital.

Sparkly Gryphons

These gryphon-like creatures were everywhere at the Imperial Palace in Bangkok. This is the temple that houses the Emerald Buddha.
