I'd like to say the real palace tour starts now, but it was so hot that my stamina completely bottomed out. The sun in Thailand is beyond what we can imagine. You definitely need to carry water with you; if you underestimate it, you'll easily get heatstroke.

Grand beige European-style palace building and a well-kept garden — I just thought, "Maybe they don't let people in because the king lives here..?" took a picture, and moved on. If the building looks tilted, it's just your imagination. I definitely didn't just snap it carelessly. Probably.

Sign indicating no photography, no drinks, and hats off, along with a stone guardian statue — The building housing royal treasures.

This building guarded by Guan Yu requires you to be extremely respectful when entering, just as it looks. As the sign says, photography is not allowed here. When you go in, there is one very large room with several paintings and statues on display. Maybe it was because I was out of energy, or maybe because a horde of older Chinese tourists swept through, but I wasn't really impressed.

Exterior of a traditional Thai-style temple building decorated with ornate gold ornaments and tiles — This is a place where the king briefly stays during his wedding. (A Korean tour group walked by, so I secretly listened in.) Entry is forbidden because it's a sacred place. I wonder where you can actually enter in the palace. Anyway, how many meters does the king have to walk during his wedding that he needs a resting place in the middle?
