Wat Phra Kaew This is one shiny Wat. It's covered with gold paint and cut glass, and on a sunny day can be seen all the way from Jupiter. There's also a pretty serious monkey theme running through the place, which I believe relates to a legend in which a lost queen was retrieved by some kind of monkey militia. A uniquely interesting place.
A pretty golden building.
A gold monkeyish statue. Seems happy despite the fact that he doesn't belong to a known species.
Bonnie and Wat
One of many monkeys holding a gold pointy thing up.
A few simple offerings in the middle of all the shiny stuff.
