Thailand - Grand Palace Guardians

Another scene within the grounds of the Grand Palace. This shows the whimsical side of the Thai art; depicting giant guardians to some of the temples housing relics. Again, the detail, colors and overall artistic designs are one of the many reasons to brave the crowded environment of Bangkok. Notice also the "stupas" in the background with their characteristic "bell-shaped" design and "parasol" roof ornamentation derived from the Buddhist religion.
