A lovely view

A very short drive of 60 kilometers (40 miles) north of Bangkok along

the banks of the Chaopraya River will bring you to Bang Pa In, summer

palace of the kings of Thailand. The palace dates back to the 17th

century, pre-dating the establishment of Bangkok as the capitol,

although it did fall into disuse for a long period. All the buildings

you see date from its revival by King Mongkut (Rama IV) in the 19th

century. Today, the palace is only used infrequently, and then mostly

for state occasions rather than as a royal summer residence.

Really a...double lovely view!...Also the title is...perfect! BRAVO!!!...from Italy,...Ciaomau!

When beauties from Singapore,descend in Bang Pa-in, it becomes more beautiful to behold. I remember the beautiful pagoda of Bang Pa-in.

Thanks Maurizio, Sircar. I was enroute to shoot at Ayutthia and couldn't resist stopping at the palace. Lovely weather on that day and my girls make it all the better. Don't often have them on my trips.
