Okay so I lied in my last post. I remembered some advice given by a poster in New Zealand (see attached photo). I did a little exploration in the direction of the ferry to the Grand Palace, and saw no signs of carnage! My journey was not cut short by Suthep (the protest leader) and his clan. The Grand Palace (the home to Kings and the government between 1782 and 1932) was richly ornate and resembled a series of giant temples. It was architecturally impressive and I am glad I went for it, but after seeing what I have seen (particularly the temples in Chiang Mai and the Nizam Palace in India), I was by no means blown away by this must-see attraction of Bangkok.
