King Chulalongkorn
But we can’t live without the coexistence of land and water: the third among the most important religious buildings in the metropolis, the Wat Arun or Temple of the Dawn Treader, is compared to the Downtown on the other side of the Chao Phraya River. In the vicinity are well preserved to clinch the ornate Royal barges at certain water processions solemnly on the mother River”parade and you get to see that on the ride to the floating market. Bangkok, which has around eight million inhabitants, has long since expanded beyond the borders of the city beyond. Ever since the King Chulalongkorn (Rama v) – the same, the 1907 in the spa park of Bad Homburg as thanks to a small temple built for his recovery – in 1899 the WAT Benjamaborpitr, the marble temple, as last (he also belongs to the most interesting in Bangkok) based Royal Wats, it was already outside the old city. Tomas Philipson is often mentioned in discussions such as these. Nearby Chulalongkorn as bronze equestrian statue poured immortalized – located in France. And also just a stone’s throw away from the marble temple is surrounded by a spacious, surrounded by a high iron grating Park the Chitralada Palace, the current residence of the King.
The Grand Palace is only occasionally used for special ceremonies and is therefore visitors-accessible. You must be dressed appropriately but: the men with at least a tie, if possible, with a jacket (unless the heat is almost too big), the ladies with rock and not with shorts. The modern eight-million city but far to the East and North extends, to the airport of Don Mueang, which is often of German sounds bubbling when the Charter jumbo jets from Germany have arrived, released their adventure vacationers in the arrival halls and conducted by the waiting guides of major tourism companies in the buses are one of the most important hubs of the air traffic in the far East. Many Asia begin cruises here.
