More golden palace

Some more photos of us at the Palace.
To see the jade buddha, you had to take shoes off and when seated in front of him, you needed to make sure not to point your feet at him (very rude). There was an attendant to make sure that everyone obeyed. The buddha himself was quite small, and almost overshadowed by the giant temple that housed him. He wears a cloak, the type of which depends on the seasons. Rainy season, cold season, hot season, and the king of Thailand changes the cloak in an elaborate ceremony at the beginning of each new season.
