I passed through Thailand twice in September 2006. It was a bit of surprise to me. After spending some time in poorer Asian countries I was surprised at the wealth and level of development in Bangkok. I had a wonderful time staying with my aunt, and eating wonderful food.

Grand Palace.

Coming up to the Grand Palace in Bangkok. This is the most beautiful and impressive palace I've seen in the world. All is nearly perfect, and it impressed me more because I didn't know to expect it. I expected the Palace in Tokyo to be perfect, it wasn't. I hadn't heard of the palace in Bangkok and it was amazing. September 2006.
