I have never been to a place where so much architecture of such cultural significance is packed into such a small area. This place was just amazing. These pics are of a scale model of Angkor Wat, Cambodia. It was incredibly detailed, and my favorite sight of the day, by far. It was located in the heart of The Temple of the Emerald Buddha.
The imagery painted on the walls along the walkway is beautiful and plentiful.
The Temple of the Emerald Buddha. This was an incredibly ornate and revered temple. Of course all who entered were required to remove their shoes.
Onto the Royal Palace. Parts of this were closed as the Royal Family was in residence, so there are less pics of this area.
This was a beautiful set of grounds. It was meticulously manicured and maintained. It would have been nice if I could have actually gone IN an of these buildings, but all were locked up. Bummer.
On to The Temple of the Reclining Buddha!
