  • These fierce-looking fellas, called Yaksha, are guarding a lavish Buddhist temple.""It\s considered the most sacred temple in Thailand
  • Although the royal family no longer lives here, this compound in the heart of the city has more than 100 ornate buildings.""Where is it?
  • These guardians have been supporting this temple for more than 200 years.""After all that time, the changes to their city below must seem almost supernatural
  • “Krung Thep Mahanakhon Amon Rattanakosin Mahintharayutthaya Mahadilok Phop Noppharat Ratchathani Burirom Udomratchaniwet Mahasathan Amon Phiman Awatan Sathit Sakkathattiya Witsanukam Prasit”""That\s the full name of this city
